Asian Turkey Meatballs With Lime Sesame Dipping Sauce

Asian Turkey Meatballs With Lime Sesame Dipping Sauce

    1/4 cup panko crumbs
    1-1/4 lbs 93% lean ground turkey
    1 egg
    1 tbsp ginger, minced
    1 clove garlic, minced
    1/2 tsp salt
    1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
    3 scallions, chopped
    1 tbsp low sodium soy sauce
    2 tsp sesame oil

Dipping Sauce

    4 tbsp low sodium soy sauce
    2 tsp sesame oil
    2 tbsp fresh lime juice
    2 tbsp water
    1 chopped fresh scallion

Preheat oven to 500°F.

Mix ground turkey, panko, egg, salt, scallions, ginger, cilantro, 1 tbsp soy sauce, and 2 tsp oil and mix with your hands until combined well. Shape 1/4 cup meat mixture into a ball and transfer to a baking dish. Repeat with remaining mixture. Bake until cooked through, about 15 minutes.

For the dipping sauce mix together lime juice, water, soy sauce, and remaining 2 teaspoons of oil in a bowl. Add scallions.

Transfer meatballs to a serving dish. Stir sauce, then drizzle meatballs with 1 tablespoon sauce.

Serve meatballs with remaining sauce, about 1 tbsp per person. Chances are you won't use all the dipping sauce.

Makes 12 meatballs.
