6 cups shredded cooked turkey, preferably dark meat
1 stick butter
1/4 cup packed brown sugar
1/2 tsp. cinnamon
3 Granny Smith apples, cored, peeled
    and diced to 1/2" pieces or smaller
2/3 cup medium hot or hot Hatch green chiles, diced
salt and pepper
1/2 cup apple cider

Preparation:

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

2. Melt the butter in a large skillet over medium
    high heat. Add brown sugar, cinnamon, diced apples,
    and diced chiles, toss to coat. Sauté 3 minutes, without
    stirring to let caramelize on one side. Toss and sauté
    another 3 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool.
   
3. In a 2 qt+ casserole, spread a layer of turkey, then
   a layer of the apple/chile mixture. Alternate layers,
   seasoning with salt and pepper to taste as you go.
 
4. Pour the apple cider over the top and bake uncovered
    for 30 to 40 minutes.   

5. Serve as is or pile onto french or sourdough baguettes
    to make sub sandwiches. You may want to melt Swiss
    or provolone cheese on top.


   Since I was raised on good ole Carolina style pulled
pork bbq, you might find me piling some cole slaw on
this sandwich.
