Step-by-Step Instructions

1
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Cut the zucchinis in half lengthwise and scoop out the insides, leaving a shell about 1/4 inch thick. Place the zucchinis on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
2
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the ground turkey and cook, breaking it up with a spoon, until it is no longer pink, about 5-7 minutes.
3
Add the cooked rice, salt, and pepper to the skillet with the turkey. Stir to combine and cook for 1-2 minutes.
4
Stuff each zucchini boat with the turkey and rice mixture, dividing it evenly among the four zucchinis. Top each zucchini with shredded cheese.
5
Bake the zucchinis in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until they are tender and the cheese is melted and golden brown.
