Preheat your oven to 400°F. Bring a large pot of water to a boil with half the salt. Add the pasta and cook for 10 minutes until slightly firm, then drain.
While the water heats, coat a skillet with cooking spray over medium-high heat. Add the ground turkey and cook, breaking it up with a spoon, for 6 minutes until opaque and cooked through. Done when opaque in the center, 165°F.
Add the minced garlic, Italian seasoning, pepper, and the rest of the salt to the turkey. Cook for 1 minute until fragrant. Stir in the marinara sauce and simmer for 5 minutes.
Toss the drained pasta into the skillet with the meat sauce. Transfer everything to a small baking dish. Top with mozzarella and parmesan. Bake for 15 minutes until the cheese is bubbly and lightly browned.
Let the dish rest for 5 minutes before topping with torn fresh basil.
