1/2 cup arils from 1 large POM Wonderful Pomegranate

Turkey Meat Loaf

Prepare fresh pomegranate juice.*

Preheat oven to 350°F.

In a bowl mix turkey, breadcrumbs, pomegranate juice, caramelized onions with all the pan juices, minced garlic, sage, eggs, Parmesan cheese, soy sauce and Worcestershire sauce.

Mix well using hands and form into a 9 x 5 loaf.

Place in a prepared loaf pan.

Bake in a preheated oven for about 1 1/2 hours.

Serve with 1 tablespoon of pomegranate sauce.

POM Sauce:

Score 1 fresh pomegranate and place in a bowl of water. Break open the pomegranate under water to free the arils (seed sacs). The arils will sink to the bottom of the bowl and the membrane will float to the top. Sieve and put the arils in a separate bowl. Reserve 1/2 cup of the arils from fruit and set aside. (Refrigerate or freeze remaining arils for another use.)

Mix ingredients together and heat to dissolve sugar. Serve on cooked turkey meat loaf.

For 1 cup of juice, cut 2-3 large POM Wonderful Pomegranates in half and juice them with a citrus reamer or juicer. Pour the mixture through a cheesecloth-lined strainer or sieve. Set the juice aside.
