Prep 15 min · Cook 35 min

In a small saucepan, combine the brown rice, water, and half the salt. Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce to low, cover, and simmer for 40 minutes. Remove from the heat and let rest, covered, for 5 minutes.
While the rice simmers, heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the onion and bell pepper and cook for 5 minutes until softened. Stir in the garlic and cook for 1 minute more until fragrant.
Add the ground turkey to the skillet and increase the heat to medium-high. Cook for 6 to 8 minutes, breaking the meat apart with a spoon, until the turkey is cooked through and reaches 165°F.
Stir in the taco seasoning, the remaining salt, and the salsa. Cook for 2 minutes to heat through and coat the meat. Fluff the rice and serve the turkey mixture on top, garnished with chopped cilantro.
