In a small pot, combine the brown rice, the 2/3 cup of water, and a pinch of the salt. Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce to low, cover, and simmer for 35 minutes. Remove from the heat and let rest covered for 5 minutes.
About 20 minutes into the rice simmer, heat the olive oil in a 12-inch skillet over medium heat. Add the onion and bell pepper and cook for 5 minutes until softened.
Add the ground turkey to the skillet and let it sit undisturbed for 2 minutes to brown. Add the 2 tbsp of water to help break up the meat. Cook for 4 minutes more, breaking it apart with a spoon. Done when opaque in the center, 165°F.
Stir in the zucchini, garlic, chili powder, cumin, and the rest of the salt. Cook for 4 minutes until the zucchini is tender.
Stir in the black beans and cook for 2 minutes to heat through. Stir in the lime juice. Fluff the rice with a fork and serve the turkey mixture over the top.
