Carne Molida
Carne Molida (Puerto Rican Picadillo) is a staple in my dinner rotation, which is very similar to my Cuban picadillo, but it’s made with potatoes and sofrito.

Ingredients
- 1 ½ pounds 90% lean ground turkey (ground beef, or ground bison)
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt
- 1 small onion (minced)

Steps

In a large skillet over high heat brown the meat, season with salt and cook breaking it up as it cooks with a wooden spoon into small pieces. Reduce heat to medium-low, add the onions, garlic and sofrito and cook, stirring 4 to 5 minutes.
