For the Meatballs

Combine the ground turkey with the egg, paprika, oregano, garlic powder, onion powder, 1 teaspoon of the dried thyme, salt and a pinch or two of pepper. Mix only until combined and set aside.

For the Sauce

Coat the bottom of an approx. 14-inch nonstick skillet with olive oil and place it over medium-low heat. Add the onions and garlic and cook until the onions are soft and beginning to caramelize, about 7 minutes. Add the remaining 1½ teaspoons of dried thyme and stir to blend.

Add the tomato purée, chicken stock and red wine to the pan and bring to a boil. Turn the heat to low and let it simmer for about 5 minutes. Season to taste with salt and pepper.

Assemble and Finish

Keeping the heat low, use an approx. 2-tablespoon cookie/ice cream scoop to scoop the turkey mixture into approximately 2 dozen meatballs, gently adding them to the sauce in the pan as you go. Spoon a bit of the sauce over each one, cover the pan until they are about halfway cooked, about 6 minutes.

Then flip each one over, add the gnocchi and basil leaves and very gently mix them into the sauce between the meatballs. Cover and continue to simmer until the gnocchi is hot, and the meatballs are cooked through, approx. another 8 minutes or so.
