Instructions

Step 1

Preheat oven to 375ºF. Line a sheet pan with parchment paper or brush or spray with oil.

Step 2

Mix all ingredients in a large bowl.

Step 3

Using a meatball scoop or melon baller, scoop the mixture to form 24 - 1½ inch meatballs. The meatballs should be very moist but hold the shape when placed on the sheet pan. Place 1 inch apart on the pan.

Step 4

Bake uncovered 18-22 minutes until the center of the meatballs reaches 165ºF on a meat thermometer. Serve warm as is with mini skewers or with cranberry sauce for dipping. Add parsley for extra color!
