Cooking Steps
• Heat broiler to high. Bring a medium pot of salted water to a boil (use a large pot for 4 servings). Wash and dry produce. • Heat a drizzle of oil in a large, preferably ovenproof, pan over medium-high heat. Add turkey*, half the Italian Seasoning (all for 4), and ¼ tsp salt (½ tsp for 4). Cook, breaking up meat into pieces, until browned, 3-5 minutes (it’ll finish cooking later).
• Once water is boiling, add gnocchi to pot. Cook, stirring occasionally, until tender and floating to the top, 3-4 minutes. • Reserve 1 cup pasta cooking water, then drain.
• Add tomato paste to pan with turkey; cook, stirring, until combined, 1-2 minutes. • Stir in stock concentrates, cream cheese, and ½ cup pasta cooking water (¾ cup for 4 servings) until combined. • Add peas; simmer, stirring occasionally, until sauce has slightly thickened and turkey is cooked through, 1-2 minutes more.
• Add drained gnocchi to pan with sauce; cook until warmed through, 1-2 minutes. (TIP: If needed, stir in more reserved pasta cooking water a splash at a time until gnocchi is thoroughly coated in sauce.) Season with salt and pepper to taste. TIP: If your pan isn’t ovenproof, transfer mixture now to a baking dish. • Evenly sprinkle with Italian cheese. Broil until cheese is melted and bubbly, 2-3 minutes. TIP: Watch carefully to avoid burning. • Serve directly from pan.

Reviews from our home cooks
This dish was so delicious! It was such a hit with my family that we had almost no leftovers even though we are family of three and got the meal for four. My son was even surprised that he enjoyed it so much claiming he does not like gnocchi. I think when you smother it with cheese and meat and peas what's not to love? Please bring this dish back again
I gave this one five stars it was so good and it made enough for at least three people. I will make this again. The flavors were excellent the gnocchi was delicious perfectly cooked. The peas really added the perfect texture and flavor.
I actually liked this way more than I thought I would! The ragu was SO GOOD!!! This dish was super easy to make and the portion sizes were generous!
I love Gnocchi and the turnkey and peas made it light enough for my diet. This was so quick and easy to make.
Outstanding! As always, easy to make but packed full of flavor. It was creamy and the gnocchi took it to the next level.
This was okay. I thought for sure I was going to love it. Quite bland and we used the whole Italian seasoning packet for the two of us. I am a huge gnocchi fan, but think I would've enjoyed it much more with either the chicken sausage or the Italian sausage. Also think parmesan cheese is a better fit for this dish. Would try another gnocchi recipe just not this one. On the plus side nice to see a dish with peas which isn't very common for Hello Fresh.
This one was just okay for me. Ground turkey is just so bland, and gnocchi themselves are a little bland as well. Even though I seasoned as instructed, I think I should have added even more salt/pepper and maybe even more of the Italian seasoning blend. I like that the dish came together pretty quickly, however.
Gnocchi was too filling. The only one able to eat his full serving was the man of the household. Everybody else ate a quarter to an 8th of a serving loading up on the ground turkey and peas.
I let my son pick this one out. I had my doubts. We are not big fans of peas, so we left them out. This turned out to be a wonderful dish of Italian comfort food! Thank you!
The gnocchi were a bit gummy and the dish was a little heavy overall even with an added salad. Very tasty though.
