Steps:
- To make the meatballs: Place all the ingredients, except the ground turkey and egg, in a food processor and pulse until you have a grainy paste. Transfer to a large mixing bowl and add the turkey and egg. Lightly knead with your hands for a few minutes (do not over-mix). Cover and chill in the fridge for at least 10 minutes or up to 24 hours.
- Preheat the oven to 450°F (230°C). Generously oil a wide, non-reactive baking dish, large enough to fit 24 meatballs, (about 12 x 14 in/30 x 35 cm) and set aside.
- Remove the turkey mixture from the fridge and shape into walnut-sized balls (about 1 1/2 tablespoons each, using an ice-cream scoop). Place the meatballs in the baking dish and brush well with oil. Bake in the oven for 15 minutes, until bottoms of the meatballs are lightly golden.
- Meanwhile, in another mixing bowl, combine all the ingredients for the glaze.
- Spoon the glaze over the meatballs and bake for another 5 minutes to infuse them with the flavor of pomegranate.
- Garnish with the pomegranate arils and serve warm with the sauce. These meatballs are perfect for wrapping with sprigs of fresh basil in lavash bread or green lettuce.
FESENJAN-INSPIRED POMEGRANATE MEATBALLS
Found online when I was looking specifically for Persian meatball recipes. I adapted this recipe in a few places and as is usually the case the very first thing I did was cut the recipe in half. Use all beef if you don't like lamb. I added the walnuts and once I did that I realized as I was adding new ingredients the recipe had morphed into an easier yet different version of fesenjan. From hannaford.com. The meatballs were served over basic Persian 'kateh' (boiled white basmati rice) and accompanied by a crisp salad with fresh seasonal ingredients.

Steps:
- *Note: I didn't have enough bulgur for this recipe and substitute cracked wheat and skipped the soaking (not necessary).
- Prepare meatballs. Place bulgur in a medium bowl and pour hot water on top. Let soak for 15 minutes.
- Meanwhile, in a large bowl, combine lamb, beef, onion, walnuts, spices black pepper, salt, egg, mint, and pomegranate molasses.
- Add bulgur to meat mixture and mix. I find it best to refrigerate the meatball mixture first for at least 30 minutes before forming.
- PREHEAT oven to 350 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- With slightly damp hands form mixture into meatballs*. I used an oiled cookie scoop to help me form the meatballs.
- Place meatballs on the parchment-lined baking sheet.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes.
- Drain on paper towel then transfer the meatballs to a serving platter. I garnished them with fresh mint and a light drizzle of pomegranate molasses. If desired, serve a bowl of plain yogurt on the side to accompany the meatballs.
- *Note: if serving this as an appetizer, use 1 tablespoon of the meat mixture to form each meatball.

- Sart the Pomegrante Glaze. In a small saute pan or pot ( do not use cast iron) saute shallot in a drizzle of olive oil, over medium heat for 3 minutes, or until tender. Add pomegranate juice, pinch of salt and pepper, maple and allspice. Bring to a simmer, turn heat to medium, then simmer uncovered for 15-20 minutes or until it reduces to ½ cup. Turn heat off.
- While its simmering make the Meatballs. Place meatball ingredients in a medium bowl and using hands, combine well, adding enough breadcrumbs to make them easy to roll into balls. Cook a “tester.” Taste, adjust salt.
- Using wet hands, roll into ping-pong sized balls (about 1 ¾- 2 inches in diameter) and set aside. You should have about 12-16.
- To cook the meat balls: Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil over medium heat in a large skillet. Working in batches (don’t over crowd) brown the meatballs, giving the skillet a little shake now and then to roll them around a bit and cook each side. Once browned, turn heat down to lowest setting, cover and cook through for just a couple minutes.
