This Latin American specialty gets its delicious flavor from sofrito, a mixture of sautéed onions, peppers, and garlic. Picadillo traditionally features beef but our version got a makeover with lean ground turkey. Enjoy it as a main dish with rice and beans, or spooned over a baked potato. Picadillo is also great used as a taco filling, a tostada topping, or in enchiladas. Double the recipe and freeze a batch for easy weeknight meals another time.
