2. Form Meatballs: Using your hands, shape the mixture into meatballs about 1 to 1.5 inches in diameter. Place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
3. Heat Oil: In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. You want enough oil to cover the bottom of the pan.

5. Drain: Remove the meatballs from the skillet and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
6. Serve: Transfer the cooked meatballs to a serving dish and garnish with additional parsley and lemon wedges if desired.
