Prep 15 min · Cook 30 min

Heat the olive oil in a 12-inch skillet over medium heat. Add the onion and cook until softened, about 5 minutes. Stir in the garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute more.
Add the ground turkey to the skillet. Cook, breaking up the meat with a spoon, until no longer pink. Done when no longer pink, 165°F.
Stir in the tomato paste and cook for 1 minute. Add the crushed tomatoes, water, Italian seasoning, half the salt, and the pepper. Reduce heat to low and simmer, partly covered, for 20 to 25 minutes. If the sauce gets dry, add water 1 tablespoon at a time. The sauce is done when a spoon dragged through it leaves a trail. Done when sauce is thick and leaves a trail.
While the sauce simmers, bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add the remaining salt and the spaghetti. Cook until al dente, about 9 to 11 minutes. Before draining, scoop out 2 tablespoons of the pasta water and set aside. Drain the pasta. Done when al dente.
Add the cooked spaghetti and the reserved pasta water to the skillet with the sauce. Toss over low heat for 30 to 60 seconds until the sauce clings to the noodles.
