2 tablespoons fresh rosemary, chopped
1/2 cup fresh or frozen whole cranberries
2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
2 pounds leftover cooked turkey (any combination of white and dark meat left in large pieces)

Instructions
- In a large saute pan, heat oil over medium high heat and add onions and rosemary and cook for three minutes. Add cranberries and vinegar and cook until vinegar has evaporated.
- Add turkey pieces, shredded apple, cider and chicken stock and bring to a fast simmer. Cover, reduce heat to low and cook thirty minutes.
- Remove cover and with two forks, shred turkey pieces. Leave in the liquid until ready to serve.
- To serve, line a flour tortilla with the red leaf lettuce.
- Drain the turkey over a bowl but save liquid to keep leftover pulled turkey moist.

- Garnish with a sprig of cilantro and serve with a lime wedge.
