Steps:
- Pulse the canned tomatoes with juice in a food processor fitted with the steel blade until puréed. Set aside.
- Heat the canola oil in a large, heavy skillet over medium heat and add the onion. Cook, stirring often, until onion is tender, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic and cook, stirring, until it is fragrant, 30 seconds to a minute. Turn the heat up to medium-high and add the ground turkey. Season to taste with salt and pepper and cook, stirring and breaking apart the meat, until it is lightly browned, about 8 minutes. If the meat has released any liquid into the pan, carefully pour it off, then stir in the pepper, chili powder, cinnamon, cloves and raisins and stir together for 1 minute.
- Add the puréed tomatoes, 1 tablespoon of the vinegar and salt to taste, and bring to a simmer. Simmer 15 minutes over medium-low heat, stirring often. Add the apple and continue to simmer for 10 minutes, or until the mixture is thick and meaty. Taste and adjust the seasoning.
- Cover the cabbage with cold water and let sit for 5 minutes. Drain and spin dry. Toss with the remaining vinegar. Heat the tortillas and spoon the picadillo onto each one. Top with shredded cabbage, garnish with salsa and crumbled queso fresco if desired, and serve.

Tips:
- Mise en Place: Before you start cooking, make sure you have all your ingredients and tools ready. This will help you stay organized and prevent any mishaps.
- Choose the Right Meat: For the best results, use ground turkey that is at least 85% lean. This will help to keep the picadillo from becoming too greasy.
- Season Generously: Picadillo is a flavorful dish, so don't be afraid to season it well. Use a combination of chili powder, cumin, oregano, and garlic powder to create a delicious and authentic flavor.
- Cook the Meat Thoroughly: Make sure to cook the ground turkey until it is no longer pink in the center. This will help to prevent foodborne illness.
- Don't Overcook the Vegetables: The vegetables in picadillo should be tender but still have a slight crunch. Overcooking them will make them mushy and bland.
- Serve with Traditional Accompaniments: Picadillo is traditionally served with rice, beans, and tortillas. You can also serve it with your favorite Mexican sides, such as guacamole, salsa, and sour cream.
Conclusion:
Turkey picadillo is a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy meal, give turkey picadillo a try!
