Preheat the oven to 400°F and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the meatball ingredients and gently mix until combined. Form 1 to 1 1/2 inch meatballs using your hands or a cookie scoop.
Place the meatballs on the prepared baking sheet.
Bake for 20 minutes or until the meatballs are fully cooked through. Allow them to rest for 5 to 10 minutes on the baking sheet.
Toss the meatballs in teriyaki sauce and sprinkle with additional green onions and sesame seeds if desired.
