  Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

  In a medium oven-safe skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat and sauté the ground turkey with minced garlic until the meat is fully browned.

• 4

  Stir in the tomato puree, sea salt, black pepper, and dried oregano, allowing the sauce to simmer for 3-4 minutes.

• 5

  Add the fresh spinach to the skillet and stir until the leaves are just wilted.

• 6

  Remove the skillet from the heat and fold in the ricotta cheese and cooked pasta until everything is evenly coated in the creamy sauce.

  Smooth the top of the mixture and sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese evenly over the surface.

  Bake for 15-20 minutes until the cheese is melted and develops a beautiful golden-brown crust.
