I started chopping and slicing around 8-8:20am edt.
 
 

 ok, 1.40 lb ground turkey, two big onions, many stalks of celery(5-8) , one big green bell pepper, sliced... and the chilli seasoning... some olive oil, some extra water to cover(filtered), uhm, 1 6oz can of tomato paste, 1 15 oz can of tomato sauce, and one 8 oz can of tomato sauce. added another bit of ground turkey, 1.35 lbs the label stated. all a simmering under the top.
 
 

1 packet of 1.40 lbs of ground turkey - added first

1 packet of 1.35 lbs of ground turkey - added later
 
 

2.75 lbs total ground turkey

I used a big wooden spoon, that has a flat side to it, so it stirs and scrapes.

I used a big metal pot, the kind with a thick bottom, this type of thick bottom pot prevents sticking and burning.
 

order of events:

the big eye on the electric stove I'm using has it's settings like this:

off, low then 2 through 8, then high(then back to off)
 

heat on setting 4
 

olive oil in pot

two big onions - chopped/sliced

7 stalks celery - chopped

1 packet of 1.40 lbs of ground turkey - added first

one big green bell pepper, sliced

chilli seasoning

some more olive oil
 

I let that cook awhile...

then...

added a little extra water to cover everything
 
 

Then I decided to add the mater stuff:

1 6oz can of tomato paste

1 15oz can of tomato sauce <- that didn't seem enough, so I added some more:

1 8oz can of tomato sauce
 

-------

started rolling boiling and poppin' on setting 4, so eased it down to 3... still rollin' a bit much oe I turned it down to 2, for now.

now it is simmering on setting number 2
