In a small pot, combine the jasmine rice, water, and 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 the rice rest, still covered, for 5 minutes. Done when water is absorbed and grains are tender.
While the rice rests, coat a 12-inch skillet with cooking spray and set over medium-high heat. Add the red bell pepper and cook for 3 minutes until slightly softened. Add the garlic and ginger and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
Add the ground turkey to the skillet. Cook, breaking up the meat with a spoon, for 5 to 6 minutes until the turkey is opaque and cooked through. Done when opaque in the center, 165°F.
Stir in the soy sauce and lime juice. Cook for 1 minute to glaze the turkey. Remove the skillet from the heat and stir in the Thai basil until it just begins to wilt. Serve the chicken over the steamed rice.
