    Hey hey… turns out I can cook on a stove top after all! Exhibit A…

    One Pan Tex Mex Gnocchi Skillet.

    Yea yea tex mex and gnocchi is not the most typical paring. But, hey I like to bend the boundaries of deliciousness. Mission accomplished.

    This is one of those meals that can be whipped up in one pan and in 20 minutes. Work week hustlers rejoice!

    If you are not pan frying gnocchi yet, here is your chance to try.

    Sure, you could do the typical method of boiling, but the quick crispification in the skillet is a game changer.

    Yes, crispification. It’s a real word… somewhere.

    Now, really what can go wrong here? Gnocchi. Rotel. Cheese, ground turkey, veggies.

    Answer: Nothing can go wrong here (says the girl currently wearing her shirt on backwards). 

    If you are Canadian, you are probably wondering what Rotel is. Basically, diced tomatoes with chilies. I used to have to bring it back from the US when I traveled. Now, it is available in Canada (yea, triple the price, but we get it now!)

    Heads up, this is a big batch recipe.

    Easily serving 5-6 people. Planned leftovers (aka easy lunch prep) is now in your very near future! You're welcome 🙂

      Omgosh this looks amazing and I was so surprised to see rotel as an ingredient! I didn’t know you can get it here yet! My husbands family has been smuggling it in for years! I will have to look for it next time I am in Alberta as I am sure it’s not in the NWT yet

      Made this tonight and you’re right it feeds a crowd! We had a bunch of tomatoes needing using so replaced one can of Rotel with them and it was still fantastic. Can’t wait for leftovers.
