Instructions
Preheat oven to 375℉.
In a large non-stick skillet, brown the ground turkey. Add onions, mushrooms, salt and pepper and sauté over medium heat.
Stir in the chopped tomatoes, marinara sauce, tomato paste, herbs (use double the amount if using fresh herbs) sugar, and red pepper flakes. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low and simmer for 30 minutes until the tomatoes are cooked down and the mixture is slightly thickened.
While meat sauce is simmering, cook pasta according to package directions.
When pasta is done, drain and transfer back into the empty pot in which it cooked. Add the thawed spinach to the pasta and mix until evenly combined.
Once meat sauce is done simmering, add to the pasta and spinach mixture, stirring well.
Spread half of the pasta mix out into an 11 x 7 in casserole dish, then spread the ricotta cheese out evenly across it, then add the remaining pasta over the top of the ricotta.
Sprinkle with mozzarella cheese and bake for 20 minutes until the mozzarella cheese is melted.
