Prep 10 min · Cook 15 min

In a small saucepan, combine the rice, water, and a pinch of the salt. Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes.
While the rice simmers, heat the avocado oil in a 12-inch skillet over medium-high heat. Add the ground turkey and cook, breaking it into small crumbles with a spatula, for 4 to 5 minutes until no pink remains and the edges are lightly browned. Done when no pink remains, 165°F.
Stir the red and green bell peppers into the skillet. Add the garlic powder, smoked paprika, the rest of the salt, and the black pepper. Cook for 5 to 6 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the peppers are crisp-tender and the turkey is fully cooked through. Done when peppers are crisp-tender.
Stir the lime juice into the turkey mixture. Remove the rice from the heat and let stand covered for 5 minutes, then fluff with a fork. Place the rice on a plate and top with the turkey and pepper mixture.
