Prep 20 min · Cook 10 min

In a small saucepan, bring the water and a pinch of salt to a boil. Add the bulgur, cover, and reduce heat to low. Simmer for 12 minutes until water is absorbed. Remove from heat and let sit covered for 5 minutes.
While the bulgur cooks, heat the olive oil in a 12-inch skillet over medium heat. Add the onion and cook for 5 minutes until softened. Increase heat to medium-high and add the ground turkey, breaking it up with a spoon.
Add the garlic, cumin, coriander, cinnamon, half the salt, and the black pepper to the turkey. Cook for 5 minutes, stirring often, until the turkey is cooked through and well browned. Done when opaque and browned, 165°F.
In a small bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt, lemon juice, and a pinch of the remaining salt. Set aside.
Fluff the bulgur with a fork and stir in the chopped parsley and mint. Place the bulgur on a plate, top with the spiced turkey, and finish with a dollop of the yogurt sauce.
