Asian Turkey Meatballs with Lime Sesame Dipping Sauce

I found these on one of my new favorite websits called skinnytaste.com.  She makes healthy food that is delicious.  We made these meatballs last night and they were so great!  The meatballs were fantastic, but the sauce sent them over the edge.

From Gina's Skinny Recipes

1/4 cup panko crumbs (I just used rolled oats)
1-1/4 lbs 93% lean ground turkey
1 egg
1 tbsp ginger, minced
1 clove garlic, minced
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
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 chopped fresh scallion

Preheat oven to 500°F.
Mix ground turkey, panko, egg, salt, scallions, cilantro, 1 tbsp soy sauce, and 2 tsp oil and mix with your hands until combined well. Shape meat mixture into a ball of desired size and transfer to a baking dish. Repeat with remaining mixture. Bake until cooked through, about 15 minutes.

For the dipping sauce mix together lime juice, water, soy sauce, and remaining 2 teaspoons of oil in a bowl. Add scallions.  Transfer meatballs to a serving dish. Stir sauce, then drizzle meatballs with 1 tablespoon sauce.  Serve meatballs with remaining sauce, about 1 tbsp per person. Chances are you won't use all the dipping sauce.
