Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb ground turkey
  • 1 cup yellow onion, diced 1/2-inch
  • 3 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 2 cups marinara sauce

  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp sea salt

  2. Add ground turkey, cook 5-7 minutes until no pink remains and lightly browned. Stir in seasonings: Italian seasoning, garlic powder, salt, pepper, dried basil.
  3. Add marinara sauce and chicken broth, bring to gentle boil. Add gnocchi and cook 2-3 minutes until they float.
