Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Slice the zucchini in half lengthwise and use a spoon to scoop out the centers, creating a hollow boat shape. Roughly chop the scooped-out zucchini flesh and set it aside.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the ground turkey sausage and diced onion, cooking until the meat is browned and crumbled.
Stir in the minced garlic and the reserved chopped zucchini flesh. Sauté for about 3 minutes until the vegetables have softened.
Add the marinara sauce, sea salt, and black pepper to the skillet. Simmer for 2 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
Place the zucchini boats in a baking dish. Spoon the sausage and sauce mixture generously into each hollowed-out boat.
Sprinkle the grated parmesan cheese evenly over the tops and bake for 20 minutes until the zucchini is tender and the cheese is bubbly.
Garnish with chopped fresh basil before serving.
