Equipment
- 1 Large nonstick skillet
- 1 Wooden spoon
- Measuring Cups & Spoons
Ingredients
- ½ tbsp tablespoon olive oil
- 1 cup diced onion
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 lb. ground turkey
- 1 lb. potato gnocchi
- 1½ cups pasta sauce
- ½ cup chicken broth
- 4 packed cups spinach, roughly chopped
- ½ tsp red pepper flakes
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- Optional toppings: basil, Parmesan cheese, red pepper flakes
Instructions
- Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add 1/2 tablespoon of olive oil, allowing it to become hot. Sauté diced onions for 2-3 minutes until softened. Add the minced garlic, stir well, and sauté for an extra 1-2 minutes. Incorporate ground turkey into the skillet, breaking it up with a spoon and brown the turkey for 6-7 minutes. Season with red pepper flakes (if using), salt, and pepper. Drain any excess grease.
- Add potato gnocchi, pasta sauce, and chicken broth to the skillet with the ground turkey. Ensure thorough mixing to cover the gnocchi in the sauce. Bring the mixture to a low simmer and cook for 3-4 minutes, stirring halfway through to prevent sticking.
- Reduce heat to low and stir in the chopped spinach, cooking for an additional 1-2 minutes until the spinach wilts, and the gnocchi become tender.
- Garnish the skillet with optional toppings such as basil, Parmesan cheese, and additional red pepper flakes if desired.
- Serve hot and enjoy!
Notes
