Heat oil in a skillet and brown the onion and garlic. Add both types of paprika, cloves, pepper, bay leaf, salt, cider vinegar and maple syrup; bring to a simmer. Drain tomatoes, remove seeds and puree in a food processor; add to the skillet. Place turkey into slow cooker then add all ingredients from skillet and mix well. Place lid on slow cooker then cook on low setting for 6 hours. Let cool, then skim fat off surface. Remove the turkey pieces from the slow cooker and "pull" the cooked meat off the bones by using two forks to shred it. Discard the bones.
