In mixing bowl, combine ground turkey, water chestnuts, scallions and half the teriyaki sauce. Add generous pinch of salt and pepper, and mix together with hands until all ingredients are incorporated. Roll into balls about 2 inches in diameter.
Place meatballs in even layer in baking dish. Be gentle, as they will be very soft. Roast meatballs for 15-20 minutes or until they are cooked through and reach an internal temperature of 165 F. Shake pan once during cooking to flip meatballs.
Toast buns and spread both sides with remaining sauce. Place 1 meatball on each bun and top with lettuce, if using. Serve with any leftover sauce on the side.
