In a small pot, combine the rice, water, and a pinch of salt. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes. Remove from heat and let rest, covered, for 5 minutes.
While the rice cooks, heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the onion and bell pepper and cook for 5 minutes until softened. Stir in the garlic and cook for 1 minute more.
Add the ground turkey to the skillet, breaking it up with a spoon. Season with the chili powder, cumin, and the remaining salt. Cook for 6 to 8 minutes until the turkey is opaque and cooked through. Done when opaque in the center, 165°F.
Stir the black beans into the skillet and cook for 2 minutes until heated through.
Fluff the rice with a fork and stir in the chopped cilantro. Spoon the rice into a bowl and top with the turkey and bean mixture.
