Remove the blade from the food processor and scoop one small handful at a time, roll the meat into balls by cupping the meat and moving both hand in opposite directions over the meat.
Place each ball approximately an inch apart to allow air to circulate around the entire surface.
Place in the oven and bake for approximately 20-25 minutes depending on the size of your balls. Internal temperature must reach 165 degrees F for the balls to be cooked properly.
Remove from the oven and place on your serving tray or plates
