Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
• 1 pinch ground nutmeg
• ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
• 1 ½ tablespoons olive oil
• 2 tablespoons sour cream
• 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
• ½ teaspoon granulated garlic
• 1 pinch ground allspice
• 1 ½ teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
• 1 large egg, beaten
• ½ teaspoon Dijon mustard
• 2 tablespoons salted butter
• 1 ¼ pounds lean ground turkey
• 1 ¼ cups beef broth
• 3 tablespoons panko bread crumbs
• 1 teaspoon granulated onion
• ¾ cup half-and-half, divided

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Combine ground turkey, egg, bread crumbs, onion, garlic, salt, pepper, allspice, and nutmeg in a large bowl; mix until well combined. Use a spring-hinged scoop to form about 12 meatballs.

Step 2

Turn on a multi-functional pressure cooker (such as Instant Pot®) and select Saute function. Add butter and oil; heat until butter is melted. Cook meatballs in the hot fat until browned on all sides, about 4 minutes. Work in batches if necessary. Transfer browned meatballs to a shallow dish and loosely cover with foil.

Step 3

Pour broth into the pot and scrape off all the browned bits from the bottom of the pot using a wooden spoon. Mix in 1/2 cup half-and-half, Dijon mustard, and Worcestershire sauce. Return meatballs to the pot and coat with the sauce.

Step 4

Cancel Saute mode. Close and lock the lid. Select high pressure according to manufacturer's instructions; set timer for 5 minutes. Allow 10 to 15 minutes for pressure to build.

Step 5

Release pressure using the natural-release method according to manufacturer's instructions, for 7 minutes. Release remaining pressure carefully using the quick-release method, about 5 minutes. Unlock and remove the lid. Transfer meatballs carefully to a shallow dish and cover loosely with foil.

Step 6

Whisk together remaining 1/4 cup half-and-half, sour cream, and flour in a small bowl. Stir into the pot and simmer until thickened, 3 to 5 minutes. Serve meatballs with sauce and garnish with parsley.
