Notes

The easiest way to make sure the meatballs are consistent in size is to use a small cookie scoop to portion them.  
OPTIONAL: Once all the meatballs are scooped, give them a quick roll to make them round & brown them in a few tablespoons of good olive oil in a screaming hot pan to get a nice caramelized crust on them.
