In a small saucepan, combine the rice, water, and a pinch of the salt. Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce to low, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes. Remove from the heat and let rest, covered, for 5 minutes.
While the rice cooks, heat the olive oil in a 12-inch skillet over medium heat. Add the bell pepper and zucchini. Cook for 5 to 6 minutes until the vegetables are starting to soften.
Add the ground turkey to the skillet and increase the heat to medium-high. Season with the remaining salt and the black pepper. Cook, breaking the meat up with a spoon, for 6 to 8 minutes until cooked through. Done when opaque in the center, 165°F.
Stir in the garlic and red pepper flakes. Cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
Fluff the rice with a fork and transfer to a plate. Top with the turkey and zucchini mixture.
