Picadillo builds flavour with a sofrito of sautéed onions, peppers and garlic. It traditionally features beef but our version calls for lean ground turkey.

Instructions

  1. Heat oil in a large nonstick sauté pan over medium heat. When oil starts to shimmer, add onion and peppers; cook, stirring occasionally, until vegetables are softened, 4-5 minutes. Add garlic; cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
  2. Add turkey; cook, breaking up meat with the back of a spoon, until no longer pink, 5-6 minutes. Stir in tomatoes, bay leaf, oregano, cumin, salt, cinnamon and cloves; cover, reduce heat to low and simmer 15 minutes.
  3. Add olives and raisins; cook, covered, until mixture thickens slightly and raisins are plump, 5-10 minutes. Remove and discard bay leaf; stir in vinegar and serve.
