This fun sheet pan recipe combines pasta, meatballs, and vegetables for a complete meal. As the mixture cooks, the tomatoes start to burst, and the onions and peppers let off a little liquid–resulting in a slightly saucy mixture that keeps the gnocchi moist. The meatballs are made from ground turkey breast mixed with panade (bread soaked in milk) to keep them tender. The mixture is very soft, so you can’t roll distinct meatballs to pop onto the pan; instead, use a small cookie scoop to add “dollops” of the meat mixture to the pasta-vegetable mixture.
