Turkey Tacos with Warm Cranberry Salsa

Main Ingredients:
• 1 cup of leftover turkey
• 4 corn tortillas

Warm Cranberry Salsa Ingredients:
• 2 tablespoons of olive oil
• ½ a red onion, diced
• 1 cup of cooked corn, fresh or frozen
• 1 cup of cranberries, fresh or frozen
• 1 clove of garlic, minced
• ¼ cup of orange juice
• 1 teaspoon of honey
• 1 Tablespoons of lime juice
• ⅛ teaspoon os salt
• 2 cranks of freshly ground pepper
• PLUS: Cilantro, scallions, pomegranate seeds, lime wedges (optional garnishes)

Directions:

Warm your leftover turkey in the oven or microwave.
While your turkey warms, start making the salsa. Add oil to a medium-size pan and sauté onion on medium heat for about 3 minutes.
Add corn, cranberries, garlic, orange juice, honey, lime juice, salt, and pepper, and cook for 3 to 5 minutes until the juice is reduced (almost gone).
Cube or shred the turkey and mix it with the salsa.
Assemble the tacos by spooning ½ cup turkey-salsa mixture into each tortilla.
Top with garnishes and a squeeze of lime, if you’d like.
