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

  Stir in the fresh baby spinach and cook until just wilted, then pour in the marinara sauce and the cooked ziti, tossing to combine.

  Place the skillet in the oven and bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
