In the bowl of a slow cooker, add the cranberry sauce, BBQ sauce, apple cider vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, water, and cayenne (if using). Stir until well combined.
Turkey meatballs: In a large bowl, add the ground turkey, egg, garlic, breadcrumbs, sage, dried thyme, cumin, allspice, salt, and pepper. Form into 20 meatballs.
Place a large, deep skillet over medium-high heat and add olive oil. Add the meatballs and brown on all sides, about 4-5 minutes total. When the meatballs are done browning, transfer them to the bowl of the slow cooker with the cranberry sauce.
Use a small spoon to gently spoon some of the BBQ cranberry sauce over the meatballs. Cook on high for 2-3 hours or low for 6-7 hours. Once ready to serve, turn the slow cooker to warm.
