Combine the quinoa, water, and a pinch of the salt in a small saucepan over high heat. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15 to 18 minutes. Remove from heat and let rest, covered, for 5 minutes.
While the quinoa simmers, heat the olive oil in a 12-inch skillet over medium-high heat. Add the turkey and the remaining salt. Cook, breaking up the meat with a spoon, for 6 to 8 minutes until browned. Done when opaque in the center, 165°F.
Add the minced garlic and red pepper flakes to the skillet with the turkey. Cook for 1 minute until the garlic is fragrant.
Add the chopped kale to the skillet with 1 tablespoon of water. Toss with the turkey and cook for 4 to 5 minutes until the kale is wilted and tender. Stir in the lemon juice and remove from the heat.
Fluff the quinoa with a fork and place it in a bowl. Top with the spicy turkey and kale mixture.
