Asian Turkey Meatballs with Lime Sesame Dipping Sauce

I've been meaning to make this recipe for a while now and I had all the ingredients so I decided to make it tonight. Super easy to put together and it tasted amazing. The dipping sauce really gives the meatballs a lot of flavor. The author of the blog I found this on suggested pouring a little of the sauce on top of the meatballs instead of dipping it and I did that and yum! I'll definitely make this recipe again! I added 2 cloves of garlic instead of one because you can't just have one garlic clove!

Asian Turkey Meatballs with Lime Sesame Dipping Sauce (4 servings):

*Meatballs

1/4 c panko
1 1/4 lb ground turkey
1 egg
1 tbsp ginger, minced
1 clove garlic, minced
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 c chopped fresh cilantro
3 scallions, chopped
1 tbsp soy sauce
2 tsp sesame oil

*Dipping Sauce

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

Preheat oven to 500. Mix ground turkey, panko, egg, salt, scallions, ginger, cilantro, soy sauce and sesame oil with your hands until combined well. Shape 1/4 c meat mixture into a ball and transfer to a baking dish. Bake until cooked through, about 15 minutes.

For dipping sauce, mix everything together. Transfer meatballs to a serving dish. Stir sauce, then drizzle meatballs with 1 tbsp sauce. Serve meatballs with remaining sauce. Enjoy!
