Turkey Gnocchi Soup

Here is something different to do with your turkey leftovers from Thanksgiving.  That's one thing I miss when we don't host Thanksgiving...the leftovers!

1 tbsp. butter
3 medium carrots, chopped
4 garlic gloves, minced
6 C. water
3 tsp. reduced sodium chicken base
3/4 tsp. Italian seasoning
1 pkg. potato gnocchi
2 C. fully cooked turkey breast
1 C. frozen peas
1/2 tsp. pepper
1/2 C. shredded Parmesan cheese

In a Dutch oven, heat butter over medium heat.  Add carrots; cook and stir 8-10 minutes or until crisp tender.  Add garlic; cook 1 minute longer.

Stir in water, chicken base and Italian seasoning; bring to a boil.  Add gnocchi.  Reduce heat, simmer uncovered, 3-4 minutes or until gnocchi float.  Stir in turkey, peas and pepper; heat through.  Top servings with cheese.
