                                Ingredients
- 1 pound ground turkey
 - ¾ cup cooked quinoa
 - 3 cloves garlic minced
 - 2 green onions thinly sliced
 - 1 large egg
 - 1 tablespoon soy sauce
 - 2 teaspoons sesame oil
 - 1 teaspoon Sriracha or more, to taste
 - Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
 - ½ teaspoon sesame seeds
 
For the sauce
- ¼ cup soy sauce
 - 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
 - 1 tablespoon freshly grated ginger
 - 1 tablespoon brown sugar packed
 - 1 teaspoon sesame oil
 - 1 teaspoon Sriracha or more, to taste
 - 2 teaspoons cornstarch
 
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Lightly oil a 9x13 baking dish or coat with nonstick spray.
 - In a large bowl, combine ground turkey, quinoa, garlic, onions, egg, soy sauce, sesame oil, Sriracha, salt and pepper, to taste. Using a wooden spoon or clean hands, stir until well combined. Roll the mixture into 1 1/4-to-1 1/2-inch meatballs, forming about 18-20 meatballs.
 - Place meatballs onto the prepared baking dish and bake for 18-20 minutes, or until all sides are browned and meatballs are cooked through.
 - To make the sauce, whisk together soy sauce, rice vinegar, ginger, sugar, sesame oil, Sriracha and 1/2 cup water in a small saucepan over medium high heat.
 - In a small bowl, whisk together cornstarch and 1 tablespoon water. Stir into soy sauce mixture until thickened, about 2 minutes.
 - Serve meatballs immediately with sauce, garnished with green onion and sesame seeds.
