  In a large oven-safe skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat and sauté the diced onion and minced garlic until they become soft and aromatic.

• 4

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

  Stir in the fresh baby spinach until it is just wilted, then pour in the marinara sauce and let the mixture simmer gently for a few minutes.

• 6

  Toss the cooked ziti into the skillet with the sauce and turkey, stirring until every noodle is well-coated.

  Dollop the ricotta cheese over the surface and sprinkle with the shredded mozzarella.
