Preheat your oven to 375Β°F (190Β°C). Lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish and set aside.
Slice the turkey smoked sausage into thin rounds.
In a large skillet over medium heat, add 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Once hot, add the sliced turkey smoked sausage and cook until lightly browned, about 5 minutes.
Add the minced garlic to the skillet and cook for 1 minute, until fragrant.
Stir in the marinara sauce, Italian seasoning, red pepper flakes (if using), salt, and black pepper. Simmer for 5 minutes to allow the flavors to combine.
If using fresh ravioli, cook it according to the package instructions in boiling salted water, then drain. If using frozen ravioli, cook for half the recommended time to prevent overcooking.
In the prepared baking dish, layer half of the sauce mixture, followed by an even layer of ravioli. Repeat with the remaining sauce and ravioli.
Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese evenly over the top, followed by the grated Parmesan cheese.
Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Remove the dish from the oven and let it cool for 5 minutes before serving. Garnish with fresh basil leaves if desired.
