Asian Turkey Meatballs

This has to be one of the easiest meatball recipes! They’re super easy to make and absolutely scrumptious. The recipe is easily doubled, and I would definitely recommend that you make a double batch as they certainly won’t last very long!
Meatball ingredients:
1 lb  ground turkey
2 scallions, very finely chopped
1⁄2 C cilantro, finely chopped
1 Tbsp sesame oil
1 Tbsp vegetable oil
2 Tbsp  soy sauce
1⁄4 C breadcrumbs 
1⁄4 C oats 
1 egg, lightly beaten

Dipping Sauce
1⁄4 C  brown sugar
1⁄4 C  soy sauce
1 Tbsp  rice vinegar
2 -3 slices  fresh ginger, peeled and gently squashed

Heat the oven to 400°.
Make the meatballs: 
Gently mix together all the meatball ingredients with your hands. Then form the meatballs by using an ice-cream scoop. Place them on a lightly oiled cookie sheet and bake for about 23-25 minutes, until cooked and well-browned. 

Make the dipping sauce: 
In a small saucepan stir the sauce ingredients together over medium-low heat until the sugar dissolves.
Simmer for about 5 minutes or so, until the sugar dissolves and the sauce begins to thicken.

Remove the ginger slices and serve the dip in a small bowl along side the meatballs.

Tip the meatloaf mixture on to an ungreased cookie sheet, and mold into a loaf shape. Schmear the tomato ketchup on top, and bake for 1 1/2-1 3/4 hours until the meatloaf is cooked. Put a dish of hot water in the oven will keep the meatloaf moist. Serve with your favorite diner fixings such as mashed potato and steamed carrots.
