You can have something like below to create a POCO object out of your proxy object. Please note that I am relying on use of XMLIgnore attribute to break circular references

static object DeepCopy(object obj, Type targetType)
    {
        if (obj != null)
        {
            Type t = obj.GetType();

            object objCopy = Activator.CreateInstance(targetType);

            Type copyType = targetType;

            var props =
                t.GetProperties();

                    //.Where(x => x.PropertyType.GetCustomAttributes(typeof(XmlIgnoreAttribute), false).Length == 0);
            foreach (var propertyInfo in props)
            {
                var targetProperty = copyType.GetProperties().Where(x => x.Name == propertyInfo.Name).First();

                if (targetProperty.GetCustomAttributes(typeof(XmlIgnoreAttribute), false).Length > 0)
                {
                    continue;
                }

                if (propertyInfo.PropertyType.IsClass)
                {
                    if (propertyInfo.PropertyType.GetInterface("IList", true)!=null)
                    {
                        var list = (IList)Activator.CreateInstance(targetProperty.PropertyType);

                        targetProperty.SetValue(objCopy,list);

                        var sourceList = propertyInfo.GetValue(obj) as IList;

                        foreach (var o in sourceList)
                        {
                            list.Add(DeepCopy(o, targetProperty.PropertyType.UnderlyingSystemType.GenericTypeArguments[0]));
                        }

                    }
                    else if (propertyInfo.PropertyType == typeof(string))
                    {
                        targetProperty.SetValue(objCopy, propertyInfo.GetValue(obj));
                    }
                    else
                    {
                        targetProperty.SetValue(objCopy, DeepCopy(propertyInfo.GetValue(obj), targetProperty.PropertyType));
                    }

                }
                else
                {
                    targetProperty.SetValue(objCopy,propertyInfo.GetValue(obj));
                }
            }

            return objCopy;

        }
        return null;
    }

    class MyDbContext:DbContext
{
    public MyDbContext():base(@"Server=(LocalDb)\v12.0;Trusted_Connection=True;")
    {

    }

    public DbSet Table1s { get; set; }

    public DbSet Table2s { get; set; }

}

public class Table1
{
    public int ID { get; set; }

    public string name { get; set; }

    virtual public List Table2s { get; set; }
}


public class Table2
{
    public int ID { get; set; }

    public string Name { get; set; }
    [XmlIgnore]
    virtual public Table1 Table1 { get; set; }
}
