Italian Meatballs



2 pounds lean ground beef or turkey
2 teaspoons dried oregano
2 tablespoons freshly chopped Italian parsley
1 teaspoon black pepper
Kosher or sea salt to taste
1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
4 cloves garlic, finely minced
2 cups panko crumbs, or bread crumbs
1 cup Parmesan cheese, reduced fat
2 eggs

Combine all ingredients in a large mixing bowl. Shape mixture into (24) 1" meatballs.

When cooking meatballs, add 1 tablespoon olive oil to a large skillet, turn to medium heat and cook until brown on both sides. Brown as instructed but do not cook the whole way through as they will continue cooking while in the crock pot. Cook on low for to 3 hours in your favorite spaghetti sauce.
