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.
