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*.
