Preheat the oven to 400°F. Arrange the zucchini halves in a baking dish, cut-side up. Chop the scooped-out zucchini flesh and set it aside. Sprinkle the zucchini halves with half the salt.
Heat the oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the onion and turkey, breaking the meat apart. Cook for 5 minutes until the turkey is mostly cooked through. Add the garlic, taco seasoning, and the reserved zucchini flesh. Stir in the water to keep it moist and cook for 3 minutes more. Done when opaque in the center, 165°F.
Spoon the turkey mixture into the zucchini boats. Cover the dish with foil and bake for 20 minutes until the zucchini is tender.
Remove the dish from the oven and sprinkle with the fresh cilantro.
