Turkey Picadillo

Picadillo is a popular Latin-American filling for empanadas, tamales and vegetables. It's savory-sweet and traditionally made with beef or pork . Delicious as it is as a filling, it's also wonderful on its own, accompanied by rice or rolled in hot tortillas. My husband loves this just over rice!
