Convert a JObject to a strongly typed object

I'm using JsonConvert to serialize and deserialize objects from classes like this:

public class DbBulkRequest
{
    public DbEntity[] Updates { get; set; }
}

public class DbEntity
{
    public string Name { get; set; }
    public object Dto { get; set; }
}

When I deserialize Dto, I get an object of type JObject. At the time of deserialization, I want to create strongly typed objects based on Dto. I can create the objects; however, I don't know of a good way of populating their properties. The best I've found is this cheeseball approach:

MyEntity e = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<MyEntity>(JsonConvert.SerializeObject(dto));

What would be a more efficient solution?
