In a small saucepan, combine the rice, water, and half 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. Done when water is absorbed and rice is tender.
While the rice simmers, coat a skillet with cooking spray and heat over medium-high heat. Add the turkey and cook for 6 to 8 minutes, breaking it up with a spoon, until browned and cooked through. Done when opaque in the center, 165°F.
Stir in the black beans, taco seasoning, and water. Reduce heat to medium and simmer for 4 to 5 minutes until the liquid has thickened into a light sauce that coats the meat. Stir in the remaining salt.
Sprinkle the shredded cheddar over the turkey mixture. Cover the skillet for 1 minute until the cheese is melted.
Fluff the rice with a fork and place it in a bowl. Top with the cheesy turkey and bean mixture. Finish with the diced tomatoes and cilantro.
