Sweet & Sour Turkey Meatballs

• 4 thick-sliced peppered bacon strips
• 1 large egg, beaten
• 1/2 cup seasoned bread crumbs
• 3 tablespoons minced fresh cilantro
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon white pepper
• 2 pounds ground turkey
• 1 jar (18 ounces) apricot preserves
• 1 can (14-1/2 ounces) diced tomatoes, undrained
• 1 bottle (8 ounces) taco sauce
• 1/2 cup pomegranate juice

1. Preheat oven to 400u0b0. Pulse bacon, covered, in a food processor until finely chopped. Combine egg, bread crumbs, cilantro, salt and pepper. Crumble turkey and bacon over egg mixture; mix lightly but thoroughly. Shape into 1-in. balls.
2. Place in two ungreased 15x10x1-in. baking pans. Bake until no longer pink, 8-10 minutes.
3. In a 4-qt. slow cooker, combine preserves, tomatoes, taco sauce and juice. Stir in meatballs. Cook, covered, on high until a thermometer inserted into several meatballs reads 165u0b0, about 2-3 hours.
