Cheeseburger Gnocchi

I have become such a fan of gnocchi. It has become one of my new favorite comfort foods. Taking gnocchi and toasting it and then adding in some delicious cheeseburger ingredients make this dish a definite keeper.

Cheeseburger Gnocchi

Ingredients:

• 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
• 24 ounces frozen gnocchi, thawed
• 1/2 pound ground turkey
• 1 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 teaspoon cumin
• 1/2 teaspoon paprika
• 1 teaspoon dry mustard powder
• 1 yellow onion, diced
• 4 cloves garlic, minced
• 10 ounces diced tomatoes with green chilies
• 1 cup low sodium beef broth
• 1/4 cup heavy cream
• 1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
• 1/3 cup sliced green onions

Directions:

1. In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium high heat. Add in the gnocchi in a single layer and cook for 2-3 minutes on one side.
2. Gently shake the pan to toss the gnocchi around and cook for 2-3 more minutes, tossing occasionally until both sides are browned.
3. Remove the gnocchi from the skillet and set aside.
4. Turn the heat to high and place skillet back on stove. Add in the turkey, cumin, paprika, mustard powder, diced onion and minced garlic. Cook stirring occasionally until the meat is completely cooked and the onion are softened. Drain if necessary.
5. To the skillet with the meat mixture add the tomatoes, broth and toasted gnocchi. Stir to combine and bring to a boil.
6. Cover the skillet and reduce the heat to medium-low. Simmer for 5 minutes or until the gnocchi is tender and the liquid is mostly absorbed.
7. Turn off the heat and add the cream and 1/2 cup shredded cheese, stirring to combine.
8. Top with the remaining cheese and scallions.
9. Place the skillet under the broiler until the cheese has melted.

Enjoy!!!
