Horde wars are special. You do not take land in peace deals, but rather occupy it until the inhabitant submit to your rule. This takes around two years, depending on the content of the province. It also means you can expand really, really fast, but when your ruler dies, every none-core province will rebel against you.

I don't believe that the Ottomans are a horde?
Since he stated in his first post that he is the Timurids, he means that he is at war with the Ottomans, not as the Ottomans. As such, he will annex land by occupying Ottoman territory, while the Ottomans can only do the reverse by colonization or rebels.
To OP: For the sake of clarity, I might add that a war between Hordes, e.g between the Timurids and Nogai, will manifest as a regular war in which un-annexed, but occupied, land can be claimed in a Peace Treaty. You can still annex other hordes through occupation-->submission for 0 infamy, but sometimes you need to end the war quickly.
