Baked Gnocchi with Ground Turkey and Marinara Sauce

This baked casserole resembles a loaded baked potato, although, instead of potato, I used gnocchi and topped it with ground turkey, pasta sauce, and cheese.

Ingredients

• 1 cup sour cream
• 1 pound ground turkey
• 2 cups shredded Cheddar cheese
• 1 (28 ounce) jar marinara sauce
• 1 (16 ounce) package potato gnocchi

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

Step 2

Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook gnocchi in the boiling water until they float to the top, 2 to 4 minutes.

Step 3

Meanwhile, heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook and stir ground turkey in the hot skillet until browned and crumbly, about 5 minutes, making sure not to overcook as meat will continue to brown in the oven. Stir in marinara sauce; remove from heat.

Step 4

Transfer cooked gnocchi to a 9-inch square baking dish using a slotted spoon. Top with meat sauce. Sprinkle Cheddar cheese on top.

Step 5

Bake in the preheated oven until cheese begins to brown, 25 to 35 minutes. Serve with sour cream on the side.
