Instructions
Preheat the oven to 400°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
Cut the mushroom caps into one-inch chunks and place in a food processor or blender. Pulse until finely minced. The mushrooms should be super fine (see image above).
Add the mushrooms to a large mixing bowl with the remaining ingredients. The best tool to mix up meatballs is your hands. Feel free to wear disposable gloves.
Once the ingredients are thoroughly combined, form the meat into half-ounce balls and place on the prepared baking sheet.
Bake for 15 minutes, turning each meatball over halfway through the cook time.
