 Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  Make the meatballs: Combine turkey, cilantro, bread crumbs, egg, scallions, vegetable oil, sesame oil, and soy sauce in a large bowl. Gently mix with your hands until combined. Roll tablespoon-sized scoops between your palms to form meatballs. Arrange meatballs on the prepared baking sheet.
  Bake in the preheated oven until well browned, 20 to 25 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
  While the meatballs are cooking, make the dipping sauce: Smash ginger with the heavy side of a knife and place into a small pot. Add brown sugar, soy sauce, and rice vinegar. Cook over medium-low heat, stirring often, until sugar dissolves, about 3 minutes. Simmer, stirring frequently, until slightly thickened, about 3 minutes. Fish out ginger and pour sauce into small cups for serving.
  Serve meatballs alongside sauce, with toothpicks for dipping.
