  Add the ground turkey to the skillet, seasoning with sea salt, black pepper, and dried oregano, and cook until the meat is fully browned.

  Stir in the fresh baby spinach until just wilted, then pour in the marinara sauce and add the cooked pasta, tossing until everything is well combined.

  Remove from heat and dollop the part-skim ricotta cheese evenly across the top of the pasta mixture.

  Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese over the top and bake for 15-20 minutes until the cheese is melted and golden brown.
