2
Grab a large bowl and place ground turkey and the rest of the ingredients in. Mix until combined. You don’t want to over mix, just incorporate well.
3
Use a tablespoon and scoop a heaping portion of the mixture into the middle of your hand. Slightly roll mixture together to form a ball and place on baking sheet. Repeat until all mixture is done.
4
Bake meatballs for 25-28 Minutes or until the top begins to turn golden brown.
Prep the sauce
5
In another large bowl add all sauce ingredients. Mix together well.
6
When the meatballs are out of the oven, let them cool for a few minutes. Then, place them in the bowl with the sauce and toss to fully cover the meatballs.
7
Slightly toast the sesame seeds by placing in a small non-stick pan on medium heat. Move the pan in a circular motion. As the seeds warm, their oils will extract slightly from the seed giving off an amazing aroma. Remove from stove and set aside until ready to garnish.

Notes: If you're serving these by themselves, place them on a fun plate and insert a toothpick in the tops of each one. Sprinkle on the sesame seeds and scallion and serve hot. If eating as a main dish, cook your sides accordingly and plate. Top with turkey meatballs and garnishes and serve.
