Ingredients(5)

Turkey, thigh, meat only, raw60 g
Onions, sweet, raw108.9 g
WATERMELON DRINK65.3 g
Celery, raw103.8 g
Chili powder0.7 tsp

Instructions

1

Finely mince the turkey thigh meat. Dice the sweet onion and celery into uniform, small pieces to mimic the texture of a traditional picadillo base.

2

Heat a non-stick pan over medium-high heat. Add the turkey and cook until the meat is browned and fragrant, using a wooden spoon to break it into very small crumbles.

3

Add the diced onions and celery to the pan, lowering the heat slightly to sauté until the onions are translucent and sweet, about 5-7 minutes.

4

Stir in the chili powder, blooming the spices until aromatic, then deglaze the pan with a small splash of the watermelon drink, allowing it to reduce into a sticky, glossy glaze that coats the turkey and vegetables.

5

Serve the mixture immediately, portioned into crisp leaves of your choice (use the celery hearts for crunch). Garnish with a squeeze of fresh lemon zest for brightness.
