Ingredients
•
1 pound ground beef
•
1 pound ground turkey
•
1 pound ground Italian sausage
•
1 large onion, diced
•
2 eggs

1/2 cup Italian-style seasoned bread crumbs

1/2 cup quick cooking oats

2 tablespoons Italian-style seasoning

1 cup vegetable oil, or as needed
Directions
1
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
2
Combine ground meats, onion, eggs, bread crumbs, oats, and seasoning in a large bowl until well combined. Shape into 24 (2-inch-diameter) meatballs.
3
Heat enough vegetable oil in a large sauté pan to be 1/2 inch deep. Cook meatballs in hot oil until browned, about 5 minutes. Transfer to a glass baking dish.

Bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read 165 degrees F (75 degrees C).
