Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound ground venison
- 0.5 cup gluten-free breadcrumbs
- 0.25 cup parmesan cheese, grated
- 1 whole large egg
- 0.5 cup onion, finely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic cloves, minced
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon dried oregano
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 cups gluten-free marinara sauce
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a large bowl, combine the ground venison, gluten-free breadcrumbs, grated parmesan cheese, egg, chopped onion, minced garlic, chopped parsley, salt, black pepper, and dried oregano. Mix well until all ingredients are evenly incorporated.
Divide the venison mixture and shape it into about 16 meatballs, roughly 1 1/2 inches in diameter.
Heat the olive oil in a large ovenproof skillet over medium heat. Once hot, add the meatballs in batches if needed, browning them on all sides. This should take about 5 minutes per batch.
Once all the meatballs are browned, transfer them to a plate, and wipe out any burnt bits from the skillet with a paper towel.
Return all the meatballs to the skillet and pour the gluten-free marinara sauce over them, ensuring each meatball is coated.
Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the meatballs are cooked through and reach an internal temperature of at least 160°F (71°C).
Remove from the oven and let the meatballs rest for a few minutes before serving.
Serve the meatballs hot with your choice of accompaniment, such as gluten-free pasta or roasted vegetables.
