Instructions
- 1Place a rack in the center of your oven and preheat your oven to 375°F. Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.

- 3With your hands, gently combine all of the ingredients until well mixed. Be careful not to overwork the meat or your meatballs will be tough.
- 4Shape the mixture into meatballs that are about 1 1/2-inches in diameter; you'll have about 18 meatballs total. Arrange them on the prepared baking sheet so they are not touching.
