Pulled Turkey with Sweet and Sour Maple Sauce

A delicious solution to left over Christmas turkey

Ingredients

  • 500g cooked turkey meat (drumsticks and breast)
  • 60g button mushrooms
  • 1 onion, sliced thinly
  • 45ml sunflower or olive oil
  • 5 tsp crushed black pepper
  • 45ml sherry or wine vinegar
  • 45ml pure maple syrup form Canada
  • 175ml gravy or thick chicken stock
  • 45ml cranberry juice*
  • 8 slices rustic bread, thinly sliced and toasted

Method

Pull turkey pieces apart. Heat sherry vinegar, maple syrup and pepper together until reduced by three quarters. In a different pan, add oil and sauté onions with mushrooms for 2-3 minutes. Mix gravy with the vinegar reduction, add onions and mushrooms, then pulled turkey. Adjust seasoning. Add cranberry juice to loosen the mixture*. Place slice of bread on each plate and place pulled turkey on top of each slice of bread. Drizzle remaining sweet and sour sauce over turkey.

*The cranberry juice can be omitted if the consistency is fine as is.
