In a small saucepan, combine the rice, water, and a pinch of the salt. Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce to low, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes. Remove from the heat and let rest, covered, for 5 minutes before fluffing with a fork.
While the rice cooks, heat the olive oil in a 12-inch skillet over medium-high heat. Add the ground turkey and cook, breaking it up with a spoon, for 6 minutes until browned and mostly cooked through. Done when opaque in the center, 165°F.
Add the diced zucchini, minced garlic, dried thyme, black pepper, and the remaining salt to the skillet. Cook, stirring often, for 5 minutes until the zucchini is tender and the turkey reaches its safe temperature. Done when opaque in the center, 165°F.
Scoop the fluffed white rice into a bowl and top with the garlic and herb turkey and zucchini mixture.
