These Instant Pot Turkey Meatballs are absolutely delicious! They’re also an absolute breeze to make!
No Instant Pot? No problem! Well, there is a little problem because you’re missing out on a whole lot of awesome if you don’t own an Instant Pot. Don’t fret, this recipe can be made without one! These meatballs are easily made with a regular ole pan on the stove. 🙂 I like making them in my Instant Pot because the walls are high so I get to avoid any oily splatter on my stove. YAY for cleaner cook tops!

If you make these and let me know what you think in the comments! They’re a quick and easy favorite of mine and my family. We like to have them with Spaghetti Sauce and Squash or tossed in Homemade Barbecue Sauce with a side salad and Homemade Ranch Dressing.
Now I’m just making myself hungry thinking about these.
Meatballs are easy to make and take no time at all. After you have prepared all of your ingredients and mixed them together they can be put into your Instant Pot to start cooking. I use the SAUTE function (high pressure) to preheat my Instant Pot.
Add meatballs one by one until the bottom is covered (you may have to do this more than once). Brown each side, about 2-3 minutes on each side. After the meatballs have browned, I transfer to a paper towel to absorb the remaining oil. I typically serve these tossed in my homemade barbecue sauce!
This is a great recipe to take to get together with your friends and family or on busy nights!

We have a child with a serious egg allergy. Do you have any replacement suggestions that work well for this recipe? Thanks in advance!
Are these fresh or dried herbs
Dried.
Thank you! Hope that your holidays were wonderful.
Can I make these meatballs in my slow cooker?
Do you close the pressure cooker as it’s browning? I’m a total newbie to my instant pot and exploring different recipes to finally use it :). Thanks!
Nope, no need. 🙂
So you don’t pressure these? Your just using your pot to brown and cook instead of a fry pan?
Yes, just using the pot instead of a frying pan. 🙂
Could I add some chopped celery to this recipe? I always seem to have some spare celery hanging around! lol
Can you freeze these? Would you freeze before cooking or after?
Yum thank you for the recipe! I love that I can cook them in the IP to avoid less splatter!
