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 40 minutes. Remove from heat and let rest, covered, for 5 minutes.
While the rice cooks, heat the olive oil in a 12-inch skillet over medium-high heat. Add the diced bell pepper and onion and cook for 6 to 8 minutes until the onion is translucent.
Add the ground turkey to the skillet. Cook for 5 to 7 minutes, breaking the meat apart with a spoon, until cooked through. Stir in the chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, red pepper flakes, and the remaining salt for 1 minute. Done when opaque in the center, 165°F.
Fluff the cooked rice with a fork and place it in a bowl. Top with the spicy turkey and pepper mixture.
