Ingredients

• 1 pound ground turkey
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 medium yellow onion, chopped
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 medium red bell pepper, diced
• 2 tablespoons tomato paste
• 14 ounces diced tomatoes (canned, with juices)
• 1 teaspoon ground cumin
• 0.5 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1 teaspoon dried oregano
• 0.5 cup green olives, sliced
• 0.25 cup raisins
• 1 large mango, diced
• 1.5 teaspoons salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 0.25 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
• 4 cups white rice, cooked, for serving

Directions

Step 1

Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.

Step 2

Add the chopped onion and cook for 2-3 minutes until softened and translucent.

Step 3

Stir in the minced garlic and diced red bell pepper. Cook for another 2 minutes until fragrant.

Step 4

Push the vegetables to the side of the skillet and add the ground turkey to the center. Break it apart with a spatula and cook for 5-6 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the turkey is browned and no longer pink.

Step 5

Mix in the tomato paste, stirring to coat the turkey and vegetables evenly.

Step 6

Add the canned diced tomatoes (with their juices), ground cumin, ground cinnamon, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper. Stir well to combine all the flavors.

Step 7

Bring the mixture to a simmer, then reduce the heat to low. Let it cook for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Step 8

Add the sliced green olives, raisins, and diced mango to the skillet. Stir gently to incorporate and cook for an additional 5 minutes to allow the mango to soften slightly and the flavors to meld together.

Step 9

Taste and adjust seasoning with additional salt or pepper if needed.

Step 10

Remove from heat and sprinkle with fresh chopped cilantro.

Step 11

Serve the Turkey Mango Picadillo warm over a bed of cooked white rice.
