Asian Turkey Meatballs With Lime Sesame Dipping Sauce
barely adapted from Skinny Taste
Ingredients:
Meatballs
- 1/4 cup panko bread crumbs
- 1 large egg, lightly beaten
- 1 tablespoon grated ginger
- 1 garlic clove, minced
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
- 3 scallions, thinly sliced (plus extra for garnish)
- 1 tablespoon low-sodium soy sauce
- 2 teaspoons toasted sesame oil
- 1 1/4 lb ground turkey
Dipping Sauce
- 2 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon toasted sesame oil
- 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
- 1 tablespoon water
Directions:
Preheat oven to 500 F. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and spray it with nonstick cooking spray (to make clean-up easier).
In a medium bowl, combine the panko, egg, ginger, garlic, salt, parsley, scallions, soy sauce and sesame oil. Use a fork to stir until evenly mixed. Add the ground turkey, and use your hands to gently mix until all of the ingredients are evenly distributed. Using a 1/4 cup measure, portion the mixture and shape each portion into a ball. Transfer to the prepared baking sheet.
Bake for about 15 minutes, or until an instant-read thermometer inserted in the center registers 165 F.
Meanwhile, prepare the dipping sauce by whisking together the soy sauce, sesame oil, lime juice and water. When the meatballs come out of the oven, drizzle them evenly with about 1-2 tablespoon of the sauce. Garnish with additional scallions if desired. Serve with the remainder of the sauce for dipping.
Makes 12 meatballs.
