Add onion and peppers to the pan and saute for around 4 minutes to soften.
Add garlic and saute for 1 minute more.
Add ground turkey and brown, breaking up with a wooden spoon around 3-5 minutes.
Reduce heat to medium and season with ½ teaspoon salt, 1/ teaspoon pepper, Italian seasoning, Romano cheese, sauce, water and diced tomato. Saute for 5-7 minutes.
Add cooked rice and stir to combine, remove from heat.
Divide mixture between each zucchini boat and sprinkle each with mozzarella cheese.
Bake uncovered for 15 more minutes and serve immediately.
