30 minutes total

Makes 28 meatballs

Ingredients 

1 pound ground turkey

2 tablespoons soy sauce

1 tablespoon toasted sesame oil

2 teaspoons ginger (finely grated or paste)

1 teaspoon garlic (finely grated or paste)

1 teaspoon hot sauce of choice

1 teaspoon curry powder

2 teaspoons spoons brown sugar

2 teaspoons corn starch

2 diced scallions

3 oz finely chopped water chestnuts

4 tablespoons hoisin sauce

1 tablespoon lime juice

2 tablespoons chopped cilantro

1 tablespoon Sarayo (or mayo with chili paste)

sesame seeds to garnish

1.) Preheat oven to 400 F. Mix soy sauce, sesame oil, ginger, garlic, and hot sauce, curry powder, and add the cornstarch. Mix until smooth. Toss in water chestnuts, chopped cilantro, and 1/2 of scallions and then the turkey. Mix everything together until evenly distributed. 

2.) Cover a baking sheet with parchment paper. Place spoonfuls of meatball mix slightly spaced apart on sheet. Reshape them if necessary. Bake for 17 minutes or until browning.

3.) While meatballs are baking mix hoisin sauce, a splash of sesame oil, and Sarayo (or mayo with chili paste substitute) in a wide bowl. Remove meatballs when ready and place on paper towel to soak up any grease. 

4.) When meatballs are done toss them in the sauce until well coated and place back on the baking sheet. Broil for 3 minutes or until glaze is thick. Watch carefully it could overcook quickly.

5.) Place on serving plate and sprinkle the rest of scallions and sesame seeds on top.

6.) Enjoy!!!
