Since you are married, your filing option is either Married Filing Jointly or Married Filing Separately. You might need to submit additional paperwork to complete your filing. Please read the followings:
As an F-visa holder, your spouse is considered as a nonresident up to five years from the year he first entered the US. Since he married you, you can make an election to claim him as a resident and file a Form 1040 during 2019. See Nonresident to resident
Without making the election, your spouse would remain as a nonresident and required to file separately on Form 1040NR which TurboTax does not support. Since he has zero income during the year, it might be easier and also beneficial for you both to file jointly on a Form 1040.
