2 tablespoons of olive oil

2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar

2 teaspoons honey

2 teaspoons oregano

Preparation

Preheat the oven to 450 degrees Fahrenheit.
Add all of the gnocchi ingredients to a 9×13 inch baking pan, and stir until gnocchi and tomatoes are coated with ingredients.
Next make the meatballs, combine all the meatball ingredients, except the olive oil, into a large bowl. Stir until mixture is evenly combined.
Scoop 2 tablespoons of meat and roll into a ball. Place on top of the gnocchi ingredients in the pan. Ground turkey mixture should make 12 meatballs.
