Step 1: Combine salt, cumin, garlic powder, mustard, onion powder, paprika, ground chipotles, cayenne, black pepper and white pepper.
Step 2: Sprinkle 4 teaspoons of seasoning mixture evenly over chicken, and rub in well.
Step 3: In a heavy 4-quart pot, heat vegetable oil over high heat until it just begins to smoke, 3-4 minutes.
Step 4: Add chicken in batches and cook, turning several times, until chicken is browned but not cooked, about 8 minutes per batch.
Step 5: Remove chicken and set aside.
Step 6: Add bell peppers, turnips, and remaining seasoning mixture.
Step 7: Cook, stirring occasionally, until vegetables wilt and begin to brown, about 12 minutes.
Step 8: Add 1 cup of the tomato sauce and cook until sauce is dark and thick, vegetables are soft and brown, and mixture begins to stick a little, about 7 minutes. This is the "tomato sugar.".
Step 9: Add thyme and garlic and continue cooking until mixture is dry and sizzling.
Step 10: Stir in remaining tomato sauce, diced tomatoes, and stock.
Step 11: Return chicken and its juices to pot and bring just to a boil.
Step 12: Reduce heat to medium and simmer until chicken is cooked through, about 20-25 minutes.
