1 tablespoon chopped fresh thyme leaves, about 5 sprigs
1 teaspoon brown sugar
1 lemon, zested
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil

Put the chicken, sausage, garlic, egg, and spices, sugar into a food processor.  Pulse until well-shredded.  Mix in bowl with bread crumbs, worcestershire sauce, salt, pepper, lemon zest. 

In a frying pan, melt a tbsp of butter and add the olive oil.  Turn heat to medium and make meatballs roughly the size of golfballs and fill the frying pan.  They take about 3 minutes per side to fry.  fry on both sides and set aside when done.
