Ingredients
- 4 tablespoons sesame seeds
- 3 pounds ground turkey
- 1 cup chopped scallions
- 3 tablespoons minced garlic
- 3 tablespoons fresh grated ginger
- 1/2 cup sesame oil
- 1/2 cup soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- 1/4 cup finely chopped cilantro
- 2 teaspoons freshly ground black pepper
- Fine sea salt
Dipping Sauce:
- 2 tablespoons minced garlic
- 1/2 cup chopped scallions
- 1 cup soy sauce
- 1/2 cup white vinegar
- 1/4 cup sesame oil
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
Directions
Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
Toast sesame seeds until golden in a hot dry nonstick skillet. Set aside to cool. Mix the ground turkey with the remaining ingredients in a medium size bowl, add 2 tablespoons sesame seeds. Form a small meatball sized patty and saute on stove top; taste and adjust spices and herbs. Make a loaf out of the meatloaf mixture, season with salt and pepper. Prepare a roasting pan by spraying with cooking spray. Place the meatloaf in the roasting pan and roast in the oven for about 30 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 155 degrees F on an instant-read thermometer. Remove from oven and allow the meatloaf to sit for 15 minutes to absorb all the juices and flavors.
While the meatloaf is sitting combine the ingredients (including the remaining 2 tablespoons of toasted sesame seeds) for the dipping sauce and whisk to combine all the flavors and to dissolve the honey.
Slice the meatloaf into 1-inch slices and drizzle the dipping sauce over it.

I did not use the sesame seeds or the dipping sauce. This was pretty good, novel, flavorful, very moist, but two suggestions. Lower the turkey amount. 2 lbs is more than adequate. Also, reduce the ginger by one third. It overpowers the taste. If you do those two things, it will be even better.
Cheers.

This recipe was to wet and did not hold like the traditional meatloaf. It had not flavor and was a bit to sour. My family gave it the thumbs down
