Equipment
Ingredients
- 1 pound ground turkey see notes
- ⅓ cup diced onions
- ⅓ cup panko bread crumbs see notes
- ⅓ cup parmesan cheese finely grated or shredded
- 1 large egg + 1 egg yolk
- 4 garlic cloves minced
- 1 tablespoon milk or non-dairy milk
- ¾ teaspoon kosher salt
- ½ teaspoon oregano
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
- 3 ½ cups marinara sauce see notes
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, combine all of the ingredients together (except for the pasta sauce.) I like to use my hands here but you can also use a spoon.
- Divide evenly into 16 meatballs, about the size of a golfball- maybe a little smaller.
- Spray the bottom of your Instant Pot with some oil. Pour in the pasta sauce. Place the meatballs in the sauce, and if they overlap, that’s completely fine.
- Cook on “manual” and “high pressure” for 7 minutes. Let the pressure release naturally for 5 minutes, Carefully release all of the pressure, and serve over your favorite pasta, gluten free pasta, on a salad, rice, whatever works… they’re wonderful!
Notes
- Turkey: Be sure to use 90/10 or 85/15. Alternatively, you can use ground pork or beef.
- Bread crumbs: Substitute gluten free bread crumbs to make this recipe completely gluten free.
- Sauce: Use your favorite red sauce here. I like using a high quality marinara sauce, arrabbiata (spicy) or vodka sauce.
