Ingredients

  • 2 teaspoons olive oil, divided
  • 1/2 cup minced onion
  • 1/2 pound 93% lean ground beef
  • 1/2 pound 93% lean ground turkey
  • 1/3 cup seasoned whole-wheat breadcrumbs
  • 1 large egg, beaten
  • 2 tablespoons tomato paste, divided
  • Kosher salt
  • Pinch of black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon red wine vinegar
  • 2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce, or to taste
  • 1/4 teaspoon mustard powder
  • 5 ounces sliced mushrooms
  • 1 1/4 cups reduced-sodium beef broth
  • Chopped parsley, optional

Method

  1. Finely chop 1 ounce of the mushrooms. Heat 1 teaspoon oil using the Instant Pot sauté setting or a large pot over medium-high heat. Cook the onion until golden, 4 to 5 minutes, then divide it in half.
  2. Mix half the onion with both meats, the chopped mushrooms, breadcrumbs, egg, 1 tablespoon tomato paste, 1/4 cup broth, 3/4 teaspoon salt, and pepper. Shape into 20 meatballs.
  3. Whisk the flour with the remaining cup of broth. Stir in the other half of the onion, remaining tomato paste, vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, and mustard powder.
  4. For stovetop cooking, heat the remaining oil in a deep skillet. Brown the meatballs for about 2 minutes per side. Add the sliced mushrooms, 1/8 teaspoon salt, pepper, and sauce. Cover and simmer on low for 25 minutes.
  5. For slow-cooker cooking, brown the meatballs in a skillet, then transfer them to the cooker with the mushrooms, seasoning, and sauce. Cook on low for 6 to 8 hours.
  6. For pressure cooking, brown the meatballs in batches using sauté mode. Add the mushrooms, 1/8 teaspoon salt, pepper, and sauce. Pressure-cook on high for 10 minutes, then use either a quick or natural release.
  7. Garnish with parsley if desired.
