A pica-who? I didn't know what a picadillo was either, but I was sure enamored with this delicious recipe.This traditional Latin American dish usually consists of ground beef and seasonings, sometimes with veggies added. It can be used to stuff a taco or served with beans and rice.
So the apple turkey picadillo recipe I fell in love with is definitely a twist on tradition, but a clever and welcome -- and healthy! -- one, in my opinion. Imagine the sweet-tart of the apple combining with the cumin and Worcestershire sauce ... I can almost smell it sauteing on the stove.
OK, we get that it's yummy, but is it any good for us? Well, the choice of turkey makes it lean, and the veggies, like garlic, onions, scallions and tomato (OK, it's a fruit) pack it with nutrition. And the nutrition information included with the recipe speaks for itself: low in calories and fat, this one's a winner.
