The title of this meal may sound like it's referring to personality flaws, or a square in London, but it's actually a Latin American or Filipino stew-like dish, often spicy, often served with rice, with many regional variations. We've topped our sweet potato and turkey picadillo with a fiery slaw instead, one that brings all the best flavors and textures together. Picca-what? Piccadelicious.

If using ground beef, follow same instructions as turkey in Step 2, breaking up beef until no pink remains and beef reaches minimum internal temperature, 4-6 minutes.
-
If using Beyond sausage, crumble into bite-sized pieces. Follow same instructions as turkey in Step 2, breaking up sausage until sausage reaches a minimum internal temperature of 165 degrees, 6-8 minutes. Vegetarian sausage will not brown.
