Step 1

Preheat the oven to 400ºF. Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.

Step 2

Add all of the ingredients to a large bowl. Use your hands to gently mix everything together, being careful not to overwork the meat.

Step 3

Form the mixture into balls about 1 ½ inches in size, then place on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them evenly.

Step 4

Bake for about 12 to 15 minutes, until cooked through (the internal temperature should register 165ºF on an instant read thermometer - I recommend checking at the 12 minute mark to ensure you don’t overcook).

Step 5

If desired, transfer the meatballs to a paper towel lined plate to absorb some of the fat / liquid that was released during cooking.

Step 6

Serve however you like!
