Hash is a dish made with a mixture of meat, potatoes, spices and vegetables and is very similar to picadillo. This recipe for turkey and yucca hash is a perfect way to use your Thanksgiving leftovers. Picadillo is one of my favorite breakfast dishes, maybe because it reminds me of my childhood when my grandmother would prepare them for breakfast or lunch with leftover sancocho or dinner. Now I enjoy preparing this dish for my kids so I can continue creating simple, economical and easy dishes.
