Preheat oven to 350ºF. In a large, nonstick skillet over medium heat, brown ground turkey until cooked. Transfer turkey to a platter and set aside. Combine 1 cup of okra, 1 cup of green pepper, 1 cup of onion, and 1 cup of eggplant in a food processor, pulsing until very finely chopped. Place 1/4 cup broth, finely chopped veggie mixture, and spices and herbs in nonstick skillet and cook over medium heat for about 5 minutes, stirring constantly to prevent sticking and burning until veggies are crisp-tener and lightly browned.
Stir in vinegar, remaining broth and tomatoes; cook for abut20 minutes, stirring until most of liquid evaporated. Add in the remaiing okra, green pepper, onion, eggplant and tomato sauce, and cook 10 minutes more. In a large covered casserole dish, combine cooked turkey and veggie mixture and bake for 20 minutes. Serve.
