  are baking the meatballs.
• 3 Add all of the ingredients (except the oil for frying) to a large mixing bowl.
• 4 Using your hands, mix everything together until just evenly combined. Do not
  over mix.
• 5 Scoop out 1 tablespoon of the meat mixture and roll into a firmly packed ball.
  If baking, place the meatballs on the baking sheets about 1-inch apart.  Or
  place on a plate until you are ready to fry them.
• 6 Repeat this step until you have made all of the meatballs.
• 7 To BAKE: place the sheet pans with the meatballs into the oven and bake for
  20-25 minutes until cooked all the way through.
• 8 To FRY: add olive oil to a frying pan until it comes up to about 1/4-inch the
  height of the meatballs. Heat over medium high heat.  Add the meatballs, turning
  often, and fry until cooked through, about 4-6 minutes. Remove to a paper-towel
  lined plate.
