  • Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add oil to hot pan. Scoop meat using a small cookie scoop and drop carefully into hot skillet. Can also use your hands to form small meatballs. Brown the meatballs on both sides, then remove to a plate. Don't cook all the way through. Work in batches so the pan does not become overcrowded using more oil if necessary. Set meatballs aside.
