Heat the oven to 400 F and oil a 9-by-13-inch baking dish.
Halve the zucchini lengthwise, scoop out the centers, and place the shells in the dish.
Cook the turkey sausage, garlic, and onion in a large skillet over medium heat for 8 to 10 minutes, until it reaches 165 F.
Stir in the tomatoes and Italian seasoning, then simmer for 5 minutes.
Fill the zucchini shells with the sausage mixture and top them with breadcrumbs, mozzarella, Parmesan, and parsley.
