Picadillo With Rice And Black Beans

I used to love eating picadillo when i lived in key west many years ago. Found this recipe in the paper so i can now enjoy this again. I don't eat beef so i use ground turkey breast instead. Easy quick little dinner.

Drain well.
Meanwhile , combine water , 1 cup salsa and beans in a 3 quart pan.
Bring to a boil over medium high heat.
Add rice.
Stir , cover and reduce heat to low.
Cook 10 minutes and remove from heat.
To cooked meat , add remaining 1 1 / 2 cups salsa , apple , olives , cinnamon and raisins.
Cover and cook for 7 minutes or until apples are softened and mixture is heated through.
Serve picadillo with rice and beans mixture.
Garnish with slivered almonds.
