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.
PERSIAN-INSPIRED MEATBALLS
Advieh, herbs, and pomegranate molasses give these lamb meatballs a Persian flair. Serve with flatbreads and yogurt or over a green salad. If you go the salad route, include some fresh herbs and pomegranate molasses to match the meatballs.

Steps:
- Combine lamb, bread crumbs, scallions, mint, advieh, dill, salt, and pepper in a large bowl. Add beaten eggs; knead by hand until smooth and sticky. Cover and refrigerate until flavors blend, at least 30 minutes.
- Set an oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source and preheat the oven's broiler.
- Form the lamb mixture into 1-inch balls. Arrange on a rimmed baking sheet. Mist the tops with cooking spray.
- Broil in the preheated oven for 5 minutes. Rotate the baking sheet and broil for 3 minutes more. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 140 degrees F (60 degrees C).
- Brush the meatballs with pomegranate molasses as soon as they come out of the oven.
