Mix all components of the meat mixture together and cook the ground turkey in a large pan over medium heat until browned.
Add the marinara sauce, chicken bone broth, tomato paste, and protein pasta to the pan with the turkey mixture.
Stir everything together and cook until the pasta is tender.
Mix in the ricotta cheese, spinach, red pepper flakes, and half of the shredded mozzarella cheese.
Stir until the spinach has wilted and the cheese is melted.
Top the dish with the remaining shredded mozzarella cheese.
Broil for 2 minutes or until the top is golden brown.
For a spicier dish, add extra red pepper flakes or a pinch of cayenne pepper.
Use any type of pasta you prefer, but protein pasta adds an extra boost of nutrition.
If you don’t have chicken bone broth, regular chicken broth or vegetable broth works as a substitute.
