Asian Turkey Meatballs

This recipe from Skinny Taste is for turkey meatballs with asian flavor and a sesame lime dipping sauce. I made this for an appetizer since you can make the meatballs whatever size you like (with toothpicks for easy maneuvering). These turned out so well and were so delicious that I had to put them away because we were filling up on these instead of dinner!

I also tried this same recipe without the Panko to make it more low carb.... it was still tasty, but there was definitely something missing.

Ingredients:

1/4 cup panko crumbs
1-1/4 lbs 93% lean ground turkey
1 egg
1 tbsp ginger, minced
1 clove garlic, minced
1/2 tsp salt
3 scallions, chopped
1 tbsp low sodium soy sauce
2 tsp sesame oil

Dipping Sauce
4 tbsp low sodium soy sauce
2 tsp sesame oil
2 tbsp fresh lime juice
2 tbsp water
1 tbsp chopped scallion

Directions:

1. Mix ground turkey, panko, egg, salt, scallions, ginger, cilantro, 1 tbsp soy sauce, and 2 tsp oil into a mixing bowl. Mix with your hands until combined well.

2. Shape meat mixture into a ball to desired size and transfer to a baking dish until all of the mixture is used.

3. Bake until cooked through, about 15 minutes.

4. For the dipping sauce: mix together lime juice, water, soy sauce, and remaining 2 teaspoons of oil in a bowl. Add scallions.

5. Transfer meatballs to a serving dish. Stir sauce, then drizzle meatballs with 1 tablespoon sauce.

6. Serve meatballs with remaining sauce.

Enjoy!
