Turkey Picadillo



1 Tbsp. Olive or canola oil
1 medium onion, finely chopped
1 large clove garlic, minced or pressed
¾ - 1 pound ground turkey, chicken, beef or pork
1 – 15-oz. can diced tomatoes
½ tsp. red pepper flakes or 1 jalapeno chile, chopped
1 large carrot, grated
1/3 cup raisins
1 small apple, cored and chopped
¼ tsp. cinnamon, or to taste
½ tsp. oregano, or to taste
Salt & pepper to taste
2 Tablespoons vinegar, or to taste
1/3 cup almonds, cashews, walnuts or pine nuts, roasted and chopped
2 Tbsp. Parsley or cilantro, chopped for garnish

Heat oil in a large skillet, add onion, garlic and meat.  Sauté until meat loses color and onions soften.  Drain fat if necessary.

Add remaining ingredients except vinegar, nuts and parsley or cilantro.  Cover and cook about 15 minutes.  Taste and adjust seasonings.

Add vinegar and taste.  There should be a subtle balance of flavors.

Just before serving, mix in nuts and top with parsley or cilantro.  Serve with rice or noodles.
