Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Coat a 9×13 baking dish with olive oil or cooking spray.

Sprinkle with salt, pepper, and garlic salt. Arrange the zucchini in the dish. Put Zucchini in the oven for 15 minutes.
Heat a little olive oil in a large skillet. Add the ground turkey or beef to the skillet, cook on medium to high heat.
When the meat is slightly brown- Add in the marinara sauce. Sprinkle in some cheese.
Remove Zucchini from the over. Spoon the ground meat into each Zucchini boat. Top with cheese.
