Fired for “Performance Issues” with no warning or indication of poor performance. Do I have legal recourse?

I had been at my job for about 5 months and thought things were mostly going well and had never had a single warning, write-up, or conversation about how I was performing. I got along great with everyone I worked with and came to the position with a lot of experience in the industry.

Two weeks ago I was fired. I was simply told it was “performance issues” and when I asked what performance issues the response was that it was closed matter. No other information whatsoever at all. Like I said before, I had never had a single indication that I was performing poorly. The only feedback I had ever heard about my performance was positive. I did not sign any kind of documents before I left or anything like that.

I'm in Oklahoma which is an at-will state so I'm guessing not but does anyone know if this is worth pursuing legally? The whole situation just doesn't sit right with me.
