Preheat the oven to 400°F. Rub the inside of the zucchini halves with a third of the olive oil and a pinch of salt. Place in a baking dish and roast for 10 minutes.
While the zucchini roasts, heat the remaining oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the ground turkey and cook for 6 minutes, breaking it into small bits. Done when opaque in the center, 165°F.
Add the garlic, red bell pepper, red pepper flakes, dried basil, salt, and black pepper to the skillet. Cook for 4 minutes until the pepper is soft and the garlic is fragrant.
Stir the tomato sauce into the turkey mixture and simmer for 2 minutes to thicken slightly.
Fill the roasted zucchini boats generously with the turkey mixture. Return the dish to the oven and bake for 10 minutes until the zucchini is tender.
