Slice them into 1/4-inch wide strips, and then cut the longer strips in half.

Use tongs to remove them to a paper towel-lined plate.
Add the chopped onions to the pot with the remaining oil.

Cook on medium high heat until softened, about 3 to 4 minutes.
Add the garlic, cumin, and minced chipotle chili in adobo and cook for 2 minutes more.
Add the crushed tomatoes, turkey (or chicken) stock, and salt.
