These Tasty and Easy Sesame-Spiced Turkey Meatballs came to be like most of our dinner parties.
I had neatly planned out our ground turkey meals for the week but was seriously pressed for time. It turned out I was missing one of the title ingredients (I swear I had sesame seeds at some point), but that was a quick fix since I added some strong sesame oil to the mix. These were quick, healthy, and super easy.

Tasty and Easy Sesame-Spiced Turkey Meatballs
These Tasty and Easy Sesame-Spiced Turkey Meatballs came to be like most of our dinner parties. Super quick, healthy, and super easy to make.
Ingredients
½ pound ground turkey
½ cup bread crumbs - , dry whole wheat seasoned bread crumbs
1 pinch salt - , flaky or coarse
1 large egg
½ teaspoon ground cumin
½ teaspoon ground coriander
½ teaspoon red pepper flakes
1 pinch cayenne pepper
2 teaspoons sesame oil
2 tablespoons olive oil - to coat the pan
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F.
- Mix all meatball ingredients in a medium bowl until well combined. As a good Italian, I use my hands, but if you’ve got a lot of patience and time, feel free to use a fork. If it’s too dry, add some water. If it’s too wet, add some breadcrumbs. Form them into 1-inch meatballs.
- Heat olive oil in a medium-sized pan. Brown the meatballs, moving them around, so they get an even color.
- Transfer the meatballs to a baking sheet and bake for 10 to 15 minutes, or until a thermometer reads an internal temperature of 160-165 degrees.
