In a small pot, combine the rice, water, and half the salt. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes. Remove from heat and let rest, covered, for 5 minutes.
While the rice cooks, heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the onion and zucchini, and cook for 5 minutes until the onion is translucent and zucchini begins to soften.
Add the ground turkey to the skillet. Cook for 5 to 6 minutes, breaking the meat into small crumbles, until browned and cooked through. Done when opaque in the center, 165°F.
Stir in the garlic, cumin, coriander, cinnamon, and the remaining salt. Cook for 1 minute until fragrant. Stir in the lemon juice and remove from heat.
Fluff the rice with a fork and place on the plate. Top with the spiced turkey and zucchini mixture.
