Sofrito is a foundational component of a meal, typically consisting of vegetables and meats cut into small pieces that are sautéed or braised in cooking oil over a long period of time at low heat. The sofrito mixture in this recipe consists of onion, jalapeño peppers, garlic, ground turkey, cilantro, crushed tomatoes, and sun-dried tomatoes.

Ground turkey may be lower in saturated fat and calories, and comparable in protein content, compared to ground beef with a similar meat-to-fat ratio.
