These easy-to-make Turkey Meatballs are cooked in the Instant Pot in just 10 minutes! No chopping or sauteing required. They are perfect served as an appetizer or over pasta for dinner. This is also a kid friendly recipe, approved by my two super picky kiddos.
In a mixing bowl, using clean and slightly wet hands (which helps the turkey not stick to your hands), lightly mix the turkey with the Italian dressing packet, bread crumbs, Greek yogurt, Dijon mustard, and Worcestershire. Do Not add extra salt, there is plenty of salt in the dressing packet. Grab about 1 ½-2 tablespoon of meat mixture at a time and form 20 meatballs.
Pour the olive oil in the bottom of the Instant Pot. Add all the meatballs to the pot. It is ok if you need to make two layers, just lay the second layer of meatballs in lightly.Pour the jar of marinara and water over the meatballs.
2 teaspoon olive oil, 24 oz jar marinara sauce, ⅓ cup water
Close the lid and turn the pressure vent to seal.Cook the meatballs on meat/stew or pressure/manual mode, on high pressure, for 10 minutes. Do a quick release.
Lightly stir the meatballs and serve.(there may be some browning on the bottom of the pan, that is okay, it's just extra flavor)
Notes
Ground Turkey - definitely use a 93/7 ground turkey. The 99% lean ground turkey will not turn out the same. It does not contain enough fat.Beef/Pork - for an Italian Meatball that uses a beef and pork combo, pop over to this recipe for Instant Pot Meatballs.
