Ingredients

  • 1 lb. ground turkey
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 tbsp pepper
  • 1 tbsp parsley
  • 1 packet ranch seasoning
  • 1 tbs garlic minced
  • 1 cup breadcrumbs
  • 1 egg
  • 1 tbsp of Worcestershire sauce
  • Ranch dressing optional

Sauce Ingredients

  • 1/4 cup hot sauce more or less to your liking
  • 1/4 cup plain greek yogurt
  • 2 tbsp butter melted
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • salt & pepper to taste

Instructions

  • In a medium sized bowl, mix together all of your ingredients for your meatballs.
  • Using a spoon, or a cookie scoop, scoop out small portions of meat and roll into a ball using the palm of your hand. Make sure that you don’t make the meatballs too large, so they cook evenly.

Oven Instructions

  • Place each meatball onto a lined baking sheet.
  • Bake at 400 for 16 minutes.
  • Prepare the buffalo greek yogurt sauce by combining all of the sauce ingredients in a small bowl.
  • When meatballs are done cooking, coat each of them in the buffalo sauce.
  • You can serve with ranch sauce on the side, or you can squeeze ranch dressing on top of each meatball. Enjoy!

Instant Pot Instructions

  • Place each meatball on your trivet that is covered in aluminum foil. Because the meat is a much leaner protein, using aluminum foil will make sure that they don’t fall through the trivet while cooking.
  • Once all of your meatballs are formed into balls and placed on the trivet, pour one and a half cups of water into your instant pot. Place the trivet inside.
  • Close and lock the lid on your instant pot and close the ceiling valve. Set your instant pot to high pressure for 7 minutes.
  • Once they are done cooking, do a quick release by pulling the valve open to release the pressure. Transfer the trivet onto a plate or flat surface and allow them to cool. 
  • Once the meatballs have cooled, coat each of them in the buffalo sauce.
  • You can serve with ranch sauce on the side, or you can squeeze ranch dressing on top of each meatball. Enjoy!
