Prepare a 2 quart baking dish by spraying with non-stick cooking spray. Set aside for later.
In a large pot, add water and bring to a boil.
Add pasta shells and cook approximately 9 minutes, or until al dente.
Using a colander, drain pasta and rinse with cold water.
In the meantime, place a large non-stick skillet over medium/high heat.
In the skillet, add olive oil. Tilt pan to coat.
In the skillet, add zucchini, fennel bulb, carrot onion, and garlic. Saute approximately 6 minutes, or until almost tender.
In the skillet, add turkey and cook approximately 3 minutes, or until fully cooked, stirring and breaking up turkey as you cook.
In the skillet, add ½ cup of the fat-free marinara sauce. Stir to mix.
Take skillet off heat, add Pecorino Romano cheese, and stir to mix in.
In prepared baking dish, add 1 cup of the fat-free marinara sauce and spread to cover the bottom of the dish.
Add approximately equal amounts (approximately) 2 tablespoons of the turkey mixture inside each of the pasta shells.
In the prepared baking dish, add the stuffed pasta shells in a single layer.
Sprinkle shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese on top of the shells.
In preheated oven, bake approximately 20 minutes, or until the mozzarella cheese has melted, and the turkey mixture has heated through.
Turn the oven to broil, and broil approximately 1 - 2 minutes, or until the cheese is lightly browned.
