To make meatballs: Mix all ingredients but do not overmix. Roll 1” scoop of mixture into balls and place on a parchment lined tray. Into refrigerator for at least 30 minutes. When ready to brown, heat avocado oil in cast iron skillet and brown 2 sides. Remove to paper towel lined tray. (If making ahead, allow to cool then freezer).
