In a small saucepan, combine the rice and water. Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce to low, cover, and simmer for 15 to 18 minutes. Remove from the heat and let rest covered for 5 minutes.
While the rice cooks, whisk together half the oil, the lime juice, and half the salt in a small bowl. Add the diced cucumbers and toss to coat. Set aside to marinate.
Heat the remaining oil in a 12-inch skillet over medium-high heat. Add the ground turkey and the remaining salt. Cook, breaking up the meat with a spoon, for 5 minutes. Add the minced garlic and cook for 1 to 2 minutes more until the turkey is opaque in the center and lightly browned. Done when opaque in the center, 165°F.
Fluff the rice with a fork and place it in a bowl. Top with the sautéed turkey. Using a slotted spoon, lift the cucumbers out of their liquid and place them over the turkey, discarding the excess liquid.
