cup Brown rice vinegar

2 teaspoons Molasses

2 tablespoons Onion, grated

4 To 6 lb. turkey breast cut in 1" cubes

1 tablespoon Vegetable oil

2 Garlic cloves, minced

1 cup White grape juice

cup ,Water

1 tablespoon Lemon juice

1 teaspoon Freshly grated ginger

8 ounces Dried apricots, slivered

2 tablespoons Minced fresh cilantro

Preparation

Combine brown rice vinegar, molasses, and grated onion. Add turkey cubes; toss to coat turkey with marinade. Refrigerate for several hours or overnight. Drain turkey, reserving marinade.

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.

Bake at 325 F. for 30 minutes. Turkey should be tender. Stir in cilantro.

Serve over steamed rice.

Yield: 10 to 12 servings.
