These Asian-style turkey meatballs are so good for an appetizer. People love them!

Ingredients

Meatballs:

1 pound ground turkey
½ cup minced cilantro
½ cup dry bread crumbs
1 egg, lightly beaten
2 scallions, minced
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1 tablespoon sesame oil
2 tablespoons soy sauce

Sweet Soy Dipping Sauce:

2 slices fresh ginger, or more to taste
¼ cup brown sugar
¼ cup soy sauce
1 tablespoon rice vinegar

Description

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Make the meatballs: Combine turkey, cilantro, bread crumbs, egg, scallions, vegetable oil, sesame oil, and soy sauce in a large bowl. Gently mix with your hands until combined. Roll tablespoon-sized scoops between your palms to form meatballs. Arrange meatballs on the prepared baking sheet.
Bake in the preheated oven until well browned, 20 to 25 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
While the meatballs are cooking, make the dipping sauce: Smash ginger with the heavy side of a knife and place into a small pot. Add brown sugar, soy sauce, and rice vinegar. Cook over medium-low heat, stirring often, until sugar dissolves, about 3 minutes. Simmer, stirring frequently, until slightly thickened, about 3 minutes. Fish out ginger and pour sauce into small cups for serving.
Serve meatballs alongside sauce, with toothpicks for dipping.
