If you are booting into Recovery Mode or Internet Recovery Mode, then launch Disk Utility and try erasing the drive again as GUID partition and MacOS Extended (Journaled). Once complete, quit Disk Utility and select "Reinstall macOS". You should now be able to see a valid destination for the installer.
If you are booting to the 10.11 or earlier installer, then you may need to use the "Partition" tab in Disk Utility to erase the whole drive if a standard erase isn't working. Click on the physical drive in the left pane of Disk Utility and click on the "Partition" tab on the right side. Select "1 Partition" from the drop down list. Click the "Advanced" or "Options" button and double check that "GUID" partition layout is selected. Click "Ok" or "Apply". Make sure that "MacOS Extended (Journaled)" is selected and give the drive a proper name such as the macOS default of "Macintosh HD". Once everything is set click "Apply".
