Don't overcrowd the pan; brown in batches if needed for better color.

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