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
- Potato gnocchi: 1 pack (16 ounce pack)
- ground turkey: 1 pound
- marinara sauce: 1 jar (28 ounce jar)
- cheddar cheese: 2 cups (shredded)
- sour cream: 1 cup

Stages of cooking
-
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
-
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.
-
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.
-
Transfer cooked gnocchi to a 9-inch square baking dish using a slotted spoon. Top with meat sauce. Sprinkle Cheddar cheese on top.
-
Bake in the preheated oven until cheese begins to brown, 25 to 35 minutes. Serve with sour cream on the side.
