Rinse the jasmine rice until the water runs clear. In a small saucepan, combine the rice, water, and a pinch of salt. Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes. Remove from the heat and let rest, covered, for 5 minutes.
While the rice simmers, whisk the soy sauce, fish sauce, and honey together in a small bowl until the honey is dissolved.
Coat a 12-inch skillet with cooking spray and set over high heat. Add the ground turkey and cook, breaking it into small bits with a spoon, for 5 minutes until browned and opaque in the center. Done when opaque in the center, 165°F.
Add the sliced bell pepper, minced garlic, and Thai chiles to the skillet. Cook, stirring constantly, for 2 minutes until the garlic is fragrant and the pepper is crisp-tender.
Pour the sauce mixture into the pan and toss to coat. Cook for 1 minute until the sauce is hot and bubbling. Remove from the heat and fold in the Thai basil leaves until just wilted.
Fluff the steamed jasmine rice with a fork and scoop it onto a plate. Serve the basil turkey stir-fry over the rice.
