Cooking Instructions

The protein cooking time listed in this recipe has been updated.

As of December 2025, we’ve revised cooking times for all our proteins to reflect improved food safety guidance.

Check out the latest recommended times in our Cooking Guidelines.

Before you start

  • Pull out a large frying pan, a medium non-stick frying pan, a grater & a measuring jug

Build the dish

  • Trim and slice the leek into 1/2cm thick half-moons. Trim and halve the broccoli. Finely chop or crush the garlic. Finely grate the cheese
  • Heat the large frying pan with 1/2 tsp oil on medium-high heat. Once hot, add the turkey and cook for 4 mins, breaking up the mince with a wooden spoon, until golden. Season with salt and pepper
  • Add the leek and broccoli and cook for another 4-5 mins, until softened. Add the fresh garlic and the garlic herb paste. Cook for another 1 min

Get your simmer on

  • Add three-quarters of the grated cheese, the mustard, stock powder and 150ml hot water (75ml for 1 person) to the turkey pan
  • Bring to the boil and simmer for 3-4 mins, until the sauce has thickened and reduced slightly. Season with salt and pepper

Cook the gnocchi

  • Heat the medium non-stick frying pan with 1 tsp oil on medium-high heat. Once hot, add the gnocchi and cook for 3-4 mins, tossing regularly, until golden brown. Season with salt

Plate up

  • Finely chop the parsley. Remove the pan from the heat, then stir the gnocchi, half the parsley and the yoghurt. Season to taste
  • Share the gnocchi between bowls. Sprinkle with the remaining cheese and parsley
