Preheat your oven to 375°F. In a small saucepan over medium heat, brown the ground turkey with the minced garlic, the dried basil, and half the salt until it reaches 165°F. Stir in the marinara sauce and chopped spinach, then simmer for 5 minutes.
While the meat cooks, boil the lasagna noodles in a pot of water with the remaining salt according to package directions until al dente. Drain the noodles, then break or cut them crosswise into 2 pieces. Done when al dente.
In a 2-cup baking dish, spread a spoonful of the meat sauce on the bottom. Add one noodle piece, trimming to fit if needed. Dollop the ricotta over the noodle and spread it gently, then add half the remaining sauce and half the mozzarella. Top with the second noodle piece and the rest of the sauce. Sprinkle the remaining mozzarella on top. Cover with foil and bake for 15 minutes.
Remove the foil and bake 15 to 20 minutes more, until the edges bubble and the cheese is lightly browned in spots. Let the lasagna rest for 5 minutes before serving so the layers set. Done when bubbly and browned.
