Tips & Substitutions
For a creamier texture, you can add a bit of grated cheese to the sauce mixture. If you don't have sour cream, Greek yogurt is a great substitute. Feel free to add vegetables like peas or spinach for added nutrition. Ensure the gnocchi are cooked according to package instructions for the best texture. This dish is also great for using up leftover turkey from festive gatherings.

What if I don't have cream of mushroom soup?
If you're out of cream of mushroom soup, you can make a quick substitute using a mix of cream, broth, and sautéed mushrooms. Blend these ingredients until smooth, and it will work similarly to the canned version in this recipe.
Can I make this dish ahead of time?
