Steps
- 1In a large non-stick pot pour 1/8 cup of oil on high heat. Once hot, add the ground turkey, half of the sazon seasoning, salt and pepper. Brown the Turkey for 5-7 minutes keeping the meat in tact. Once it is golden brown move to the side of your pot. *Don’t wait for it to be cooked through or it will dry out.
- 2Add another 1/8 cup of oil keep the heat high, and add the onions, remaining sazon, salt and pepper and cook on medium high for 5-7 minutes until translucent and cooked through. Once cooked, add peppers cook for 5 minutes. Then add the garlic and cook for another 2 minutes. Continue to cook and combine until everything is softened and golden.
- 3Incorporate everything into the turkey and begin breaking it apart.
- 4Raise the heat to high. Add the bay leaves, tomato sauce and vino seco. Allow it to reduce slightly for 3-5 minutes. Then add three cups of the broth.
- 5Once the mixture is bubbling, drop to low add the sweet potatoes and cook together for 20 - 25 minutes. Then give it a taste and see if you need the last cup of broth and more salt and pepper.
- 6It truly depends how you like it. Lastly, add the zucchini, spinach, peas, olives, raisins, and capers. Simmer together for 5 minutes and serve. Serve with Cauliflower Rice, Brown Rice, or Lettuce Shreds.
