  • Mix well to combine.
  • Using a 2 tablespoon portion of the turkey mixture, form meatballs by rolling between the palms of your hands.
  • Place the meatballs on the prepared baking sheet, spacing evenly.
  • Bake until the meatballs are firm to the touch and cooked through, about 15 minutes.
  • Sauce: In a small saucepan, combine rice vinegar, brown sugar, water, soy sauce, 1/4 cup canola oil, ginger, garlic, flour, and sesame seeds.
  • Whisk the sauce together and place over medium heat.
  • Simmer until the sauce is slightly thickened, 8 to 10 minutes.
  • Keep warm.
  • At the 15 minute point, remove the meatballs from the oven and brush the meatballs liberally with the sauce.
  • Return to the oven for 5 minutes.
  • Serve immediately.
  • These can be served over rice or as hors doeuvres.
  • Either way, serve with the extra sauce.
