This recipe is a great way to use up leftover turkey, and if you are like me, you have plenty of it. Picadillo is a traditional dish in Latin American countries. Don't be put off by the strange ingredient list, this dish tastes really good and smells amazing as it is cooking. Picadillo is traditionally cooked with olives, but since I detest them, I left them out. You can vary this recipe by adding almonds or other herbs or spices. I served this with tortillas and topped with lettuce and onions like tacos one night and then served with rice another night. Both ways tasted delicious.
