Combine the brown rice and water in a small pot. Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce to low, cover, and simmer for 35 minutes. Remove from the heat and let the rice rest, covered, for 5 minutes before fluffing with a fork. Done when tender and water is absorbed.
While the rice simmers, combine the diced tomatoes, red onion, cilantro, and lime juice in a small bowl. Season with half the salt and set aside to let the flavors meld.
Heat the olive oil in a 12-inch skillet over medium-high heat. Add the ground turkey and cook for 6 to 8 minutes, breaking the meat into small crumbles with a spoon, until opaque and cooked through. Done when opaque in the center, 165°F.
Add the black beans, taco seasoning, and the remaining salt to the skillet. Stir to combine and cook for 3 minutes until the beans are heated through and the turkey is well coated in spices. Done when steaming hot.
Place the cooked brown rice in a bowl. Top with the turkey and bean mixture and finish with the fresh salsa.
