Preheat the oven to 375°F. Bring a large pot of water to a boil with half the salt. Cook the ziti for 10 minutes until just shy of al dente, then drain.
While the water boils, coat a skillet with cooking spray over medium-high heat. Add the ground turkey and cook, breaking it apart with a spoon, for 6 minutes. Stir in the minced garlic and italian seasoning and cook for 1 minute more until fragrant. Done when opaque and cooked through, 165°F.
Pour the marinara sauce into the skillet with the turkey. Season with the remaining salt and simmer for 5 minutes.
Stir the cooked pasta and ricotta cheese into the meat sauce. Transfer the mixture to a small baking dish and top with the mozzarella. Bake for 15 minutes until the cheese is melted and the sauce is bubbling.
Let the dish rest for 3 minutes, then garnish with fresh parsley and serve.
