Hoisin Glazed Turkey Meatballs

I LOVED THIS RECIPE.
That's it. 
It was so easy & quick.
I threw them in the oven as I was doing some work from home & before I knew it...they were done.  They were really moist (I even used 96% lean ground turkey) & had really good flavor.  Bonus: I ate them for lunch all week too.

Makes: 26 Meatballs. Active Time: 20 minutes. Total Time: 30 minutes.
2 tablespoons reduced-sodium Soy Sauce
1 tablespoon toasted sesame oil
2 teaspoon finely grated fresh ginger root, preferably grated with a rasp-style grater
1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper
1 teaspoon sugar
1 tablespoon cornstarch
2 scallions, minced plus sliced scallion greens for garnish, divided
1/2 cup finely drained, chopped water chestnuts
1 pound lean ground turkey
1/4 cup purchased Hoisin Sauce 
2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro leaves
1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lime juice black and/or white sesame seeds, for garnish
Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
Whisk soy sauce, sesame oil, ginger, crushed red pepper and sugar in a large bowl. Whisk in cornstarch until smooth. Stir in 2 minced scallions and water chestnuts. Stir in turkey until completely combined.
Drop turkey mixture by rounded tablespoons onto the prepared baking sheet, gently re-shaping into ball shapes if necessary. Lightly coat the balls with cooking spray and transfer to the oven. Bake until the meat is cooked through, 15 to 17 minutes.
Stir Hoisin sauce, cilantro and lime juice in a large bowl. Add the cooked meatballs and gently stir to coat. Sprinkle with the remaining sliced scallions and sesame seeds and serve hot with toothpicks.
