Add the ground turkey back to the pot. Pour in the crushed tomatoes and add the Italian seasoning, stirring to combine. Cover, and simmer for 30 minutes.
Fill a second pot with water, and season liberally with salt. Bring to a boil.
Add pasta to the boiling water and cook until al dente. Drain the pasta, reserving 1 cup of the pasta water. Dump the cooked pasta into the pot of meat sauce.
Season with salt and pepper to taste.
