Fill a large pot with water and a pinch of salt. Bring to a boil, then cook the pasta for 10 to 12 minutes until tender. Drain and set aside.
While the water boils, heat olive oil in a 12-inch skillet over medium-high heat. Add the ground turkey, salt, and pepper. Cook for 5 to 7 minutes, breaking the meat into small pieces, until browned and cooked through. Done when opaque in the center, 165°F.
Add the minced garlic to the skillet with the turkey. Cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
Pour the marinara sauce into the skillet. Reduce heat to low and simmer for 5 minutes to let the flavors meld.
Add the cooked pasta to the skillet and toss to coat thoroughly in the meat sauce. Top with fresh basil before serving.
