You can use power routed turnouts on the stub tracks. When the turnout is thrown to the other route from the stub, the stub is not powered. This type of turnout uses the points to direct the current. It will save you the cost of a switch as these turnouts are no more expensive than the other type which has power to each route no matter which way the turnout is thrown.
