Per serving
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Add diced Spanish onion, minced garlic, and diced green bell pepper. Sauté until the onion is translucent, about 5 minutes.
Add ground turkey to the skillet. Cook until browned, stirring occasionally, about 7-10 minutes.
Stir in the tomato sauce, green olives, cumin, oregano, bay leaf, salt, black pepper, and raisins. Bring to a gentle simmer.
Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Remove from heat and discard the bay leaf before serving.
In a saucepan, combine rice and chicken broth. Bring to a boil.
Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15-20 minutes or until rice is tender and liquid is absorbed.
Remove from heat and let stand for 5 minutes before fluffing with a fork.
Serve the picadillo over a bed of fluffy rice.
