Directions

1. Preheat the oven to 500°F. Lightly oil or line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment.
2. In a large bowl, combine the ground turkey, bread crumbs, egg, salt, scallions, garlic, ginger, cilantro, one-fourth of the soy sauce, and half of the sesame oil. Mix gently until just combined, then form 1/4-cup portions into meatballs and arrange on the baking sheet.
3. Bake until browned and cooked through, 15 to 18 minutes, rotating the pan once for even color. Rest 2 minutes on the sheet.
4. For the dipping sauce, whisk the lime juice, water, remaining soy sauce, and remaining sesame oil in a small bowl, then stir in the chopped scallions. Adjust to taste.
5. Transfer meatballs to a platter, drizzle with a little sauce, and serve the rest on the side.
