In large bowl, mix turkey, bread crumbs, onion, egg, garlic, Worcestershire sauce, salt and 1/4 teaspoon of the pepper. Shape mixture into 12 (2-inch) meatballs.
On 6-quart Instant Pot™, select SAUTE; adjust to normal. Heat oil in insert until very hot.

Select CANCEL. Using slotted spoon or tongs, transfer meatballs to plate.
Stir broth and whipping cream into meatball drippings in insert. Stir mixture to loosen browned bits from bottom of insert.
Stir in spaghetti; coat in sauce mixture.
Place meatballs evenly over spaghetti mixture. Secure lid; set pressure valve to SEALING.

Gently stir cream cheese and Parmesan cheese into mixture 1 to 2 minutes or until cheese is melted and spaghetti is completely separated.
