Bring the water and the salt to a boil in a large pot. While the water heats, heat the oil in a 12-inch skillet over medium-high heat. Add the ground turkey and cook for 6 minutes, breaking it into small crumbles, until cooked through. Done when opaque in the center, 165°F.
Add the spaghetti to the boiling water and cook for 9 minutes until al dente. Meanwhile, reduce the skillet heat to medium, add the minced garlic, and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
Stir the marinara sauce, dried basil, and black pepper into the skillet. Simmer for 5 minutes while the pasta finishes cooking.
Reserve a splash of the pasta water, then drain the spaghetti. Add the pasta to the skillet and toss to coat, adding the reserved water if the sauce is too thick. Top with the fresh parsley and serve.
