Prep 15 min · Cook 20 min

In a small saucepan, combine the rice, the first measured 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 the rice rest, covered, for 5 minutes.
While the rice simmers, heat the oil in a 12-inch skillet over medium-high heat. Add the ground turkey in a single layer and cook undisturbed for 2 minutes. Break the meat into small crumbles and add half the remaining salt and the black pepper. Cook for 3 minutes more until browned and cooked through. Done when opaque in the center, 165°F.
Push the turkey to the edges of the skillet. Add the onion and bell pepper to the center. Cook for 4 minutes until softened, adding the second measured water if the vegetables begin to stick. Stir in the zucchini and cook for 3 minutes.
Stir the turkey back into the vegetables. Add the garlic and smoked paprika. Cook for 1 minute until the spices are fragrant. Remove from the heat.
Stir in the lime juice, the remaining salt, and the chopped cilantro. Fluff the rice with a fork and serve the turkey mixture over the rice.
