This is a great, healthier take on a classic Cuban dish substituting ground turkey for ground beef and ground pork, and adding more vegetables.
- 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
- 2 med. onions chopped
- 3 green peppers chopped ( use a combo of red, green and yellow, (looks pretty)
- 3 garlic cloves pressed or finely minced
- 2pounds ground turkey (preferably organic and hormone free)
- 1 cup raisins
- 1 cup pitted green olives
- 1 tablespoon capers (not necessary, but very Cuban with them)
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 6 oz. can tomato paste (make with one then add another if you like it more tomatoey-more saucy)
- 1 cup water (add more water if necessary -especially if using 2 cans paste)
- 1/2 cup dry sherry wine
In large skillet heat oil and saute onions, garlic, and peppers. In another skillet brown meat. Then mix vegetables with meat. Add all the other ingredients and cover -simmer low for approx. 20 minutes.
This dish is delicious and hearty when served over brown rice!
