In a small saucepan, bring the water and half the salt to a boil. Add the bulgur, cover, and reduce heat to low. Simmer for 12 minutes until the water is absorbed, then remove from heat and let sit covered for 5 minutes.
While the bulgur cooks, heat a skillet over medium heat and coat with the olive oil. Add the onion and bell pepper, and cook for 5 minutes until softened. Stir in the garlic, cumin, coriander, and cinnamon, and cook for 1 minute more until fragrant.
Add the ground turkey and the remaining salt to the skillet. Cook, breaking the meat up with a spoon, for 6 to 8 minutes until the turkey is fully cooked through. Done when opaque in the center, 165°F.
Stir the lemon juice into the turkey mixture. Fluff the bulgur with a fork. Plate the bulgur and top it with the spiced turkey, then garnish with fresh parsley.
