Add oil to heavy nonstick skillet, set on medium heat, and brown a few turkey cubes and the garlic at a time (if you crowd the pan, the meat will steam, not brown). Put browned turkey in a large casserole. Combine reserved marinade, white grape juice, water, lemon juice, and grated ginger; pour over turkey. Stir in apricot slivers and cover.
