Rinse the rice in a mesh strainer until the water runs clear and transfer it to a medium saucepan. Add the water and salt. Bring to a boil over medium high heat, reduce to low and cover. Let cook 15 minutes or until the water is absorbed. Remove from the heat and let rest covered for 5 minutes.

Meanwhile, in a medium skillet, add the oil and brown the turkey over medium heat.
