Prep 10 min · Cook 15 min

Combine the rice, 3/4 of the water, and a pinch of the salt in a small saucepan. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes. Remove from the heat and let it rest covered for 5 minutes.
While the rice rests, coat a 12-inch skillet with cooking spray and set over medium-high heat. Add the turkey and break it into small crumbles with a spoon. Season with the garlic powder, smoked paprika, black pepper, and the remaining salt. Cook until the turkey is no longer pink and some bits are golden, about 5 to 6 minutes. Done when 165°F.
Add the broccoli, zucchini, butternut squash, and the remaining water to the skillet. Cover immediately and steam until the vegetables are tender, about 4 to 5 minutes.
Remove the skillet from the heat. Stir in the cooked rice and the shredded cheddar. Toss until the cheese is melted and coats everything. Stir in the lemon juice and serve immediately.
