Coat the turkey with flour and spices so the spices penetrate the meat, and the flour thickens the sauce. Place over vegetables in slow cooker. Add currants and apricots.
Pour chicken broth over all. Cover and cook on low for 5 to 7 hours until turkey is thoroughly cooked.
In small bowl, combine yogurt and cornstarch; stir into slow cooker. Cover; cook on high for 20 minutes until thick. Serve mixture in tortillas with pistachios.

Chef Suggestions
Turkey tenderloin is like chicken breast in that it's easily overcooked in the slow cooker. It's a very low-fat cut. Check on it after 5 hours of cooking. If you want to cook this for a longer period of time, leave the tenderloin whole. Cook for 8 to 9 hours, then shred the turkey and return to the slow cooker.
