Combine the rice, water, and salt in a small saucepan. Bring to a boil over high heat, then cover and reduce heat to low. Simmer for 15 minutes. Remove from the heat and let rest, covered, for 5 minutes.
While the rice cooks, whisk together the soy sauce, fish sauce, and honey in a small bowl.
Heat the oil in a 12-inch skillet over medium-high heat. Add the garlic and chilies and cook for 1 minute until fragrant. Add the ground turkey and cook, breaking it up with a spoon, for 6 to 8 minutes. Done when opaque and cooked through, 165°F.
Pour the sauce mixture into the skillet and toss to coat the turkey. Cook for 1 minute until bubbly. Stir in the torn Thai basil until just wilted. Serve the savory turkey over the fluffy jasmine rice.
