Ingredients

• 1 pound ground venison
• 0.5 pound ground pork
• 0.5 cup bread crumbs
• 0.25 cup grated parmesan cheese
• 1 unit large egg
• 0.25 cup milk
• 2 unit garlic cloves, minced
• 0.5 unit onion, finely chopped
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 teaspoon dried oregano
• 2 tablespoons olive oil

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground venison and ground pork.

Step 3

Add the bread crumbs, grated parmesan cheese, egg, and milk to the meat mixture and mix well to ensure even distribution.

Step 4

Stir in the minced garlic, chopped onion, and chopped parsley.

Step 5

Season the mixture with salt, black pepper, and dried oregano.

Step 6

Use clean hands to form the mixture into 1-inch meatballs, roughly the size of a large walnut. You should get about 20 meatballs.

Step 7

In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat.

Step 8

Working in batches, sear the meatballs in the skillet until they are browned on all sides, about 3-4 minutes per batch. Transfer the seared meatballs to the prepared baking sheet.

Step 9

Once all the meatballs are browned and placed on the baking sheet, transfer them to the preheated oven.

Step 10

Bake the meatballs for 15 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 160°F (70°C).

Step 11

Remove from the oven and let them rest for a few minutes before serving.

Step 12

Serve the meatballs with your choice of pasta, tomato sauce, or vegetables for a complete meal.
