Asian Turkey Meatballs

Step 1

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

Combine the scallions, garlic, cilantro, ginger, soy sauce, salt, black pepper, egg and panko. Add the ground turkey and mix well.

Step 3

Using a large cookie scoop or eye-balling it, form the turkey into 28 even meatballs and place on the prepared baking sheet.

Step 4

Bake for 15-20 minutes or until a thermometer inserted in the center of each meatball registers at least 165 degrees.

Step 5

While the meatballs are baking, combine all the sauce ingredients in a small saucepan. Bring to a boil, reduce heat to low, and simmer for 8-10 minutes. Let stand until the meatballs are fully cooked (sauce thickens more upon standing).

Step 6

Adjust acidity and sweetness as desired with more vinegar or brown sugar.

Step 7

Place the meatballs into the saucepan and stir to coat.

Step 8

Serve, garnished with scallions and sesame seeds.
