   Step 3Build the sauce2 min

   Stir in tomato paste and cook for 1-2 minutes. Pour in chicken stock and bring to a simmer, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan.

   Note

   Diced tomatoes work well here too if you prefer a chunkier sauce.

   Return the browned turkey pieces to the pan, nestling them into the sauce. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 25-30 minutes until turkey is cooked through and tender.

   Note

   Check occasionally and add a splash of water if the sauce reduces too much.
