Cook pork to 145F, then rest it for 3 minutes before slicing.

  1. Set a large skillet or saute pan over medium to medium-high heat and keep the ingredients close so the cooking stays fast and even.
  2. 1. Combine the ground meat, eggs, parmesan cheese, pork panko, minced garlic, salt, seasoning salt, pepper, oregano, and chopped parsley in a large bowl until well mixed.
  3. 2. Roll the mixture into 1-inch balls using the palms of your hands.
  4. 3. Heat the avocado oil or olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Working in batches to avoid overcrowding, add the meatballs and cook for a few minutes on all sides until cooked through and golden.
  5. Cook pork to 145F, then rest it for 3 minutes before slicing.
  6. 4. Return all cooked meatballs to the skillet, pour in the marinara sauce, and top with shredded mozzarella cheese. Cover, reduce heat to low, and simmer for 5 minutes until the cheese is melted.
  7. Taste and adjust the seasoning at the end, then serve while everything is hot or freshly chilled.
