cooking spray
1 pound lean ground turkey
1 ½ cups panko bread crumbs, divided
½ cup thinly sliced green onions
1 egg, slightly beaten
3 tablespoons soy sauce
1 tablespoon brown sugar
2 ½ teaspoons minced fresh ginger root
1 ½ teaspoons minced garlic
¼ cup mayonnaise
1 teaspoon teriyaki sauce
¼ teaspoon white sugar

Pour remaining bread crumbs into a shallow bowl. Roll turkey mixture into sixteen 1 1/2-inch balls with wet hands and coat in bread crumbs. Flatten gently between your palms to create a patty and place on the baking sheet.
