Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 0.5 tbsp olive oil
- 1 cup diced onion
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 lb ground turkey
- 1 lb potato gnocchi
- 1.5 cups pasta sauce
- 0.5 cup chicken broth
- 4 cups spinach, roughly chopped
- 0.5 tsp red pepper flakes optional
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- Optional toppings: basil, Parmesan cheese, red pepper flakes
Instructions
- Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add the olive oil and let it heat up.
- Sauté the diced onions for 2-3 minutes until they soften. Add the minced garlic and stir for an additional 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
- Add the ground turkey to the skillet, breaking it up with a spoon. Cook for 6-7 minutes until browned. Season with red pepper flakes (if using), salt, and pepper. Drain any excess grease.
- Stir in the potato gnocchi, pasta sauce, and chicken broth. Mix well to ensure the gnocchi is covered in sauce. Bring the mixture to a low simmer and cook for 3-4 minutes, stirring halfway through to prevent sticking.
- Reduce the heat to low and add the chopped spinach. Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until the spinach wilts and the gnocchi is tender.
- Garnish with optional toppings like basil, Parmesan cheese, and extra red pepper flakes if desired.
- Serve hot and enjoy your delicious meal!
Notes
For a creamier sauce, consider adding a splash of cream or a dollop of sour cream before serving. Feel free to add other vegetables like bell peppers or mushrooms for extra flavor and nutrition.
