Before starting, wash and dry all produce. Add 1 1/4 cups water and 1/4 tsp salt (dbl both for 4 ppl) to a medium pot. Cover and bring to a boil over high heat. While the water comes to a boil, halve tomatoes. Zest, then juice lime. Thinly slice green onions. Finely chop cilantro. Peel, pit, then cut avocado into 1/2- inch pieces. Drain and rinse corn, then pat dry with paper towels.
Add rice to the boiling water. Reduce heat to low. Cover and cook until rice is tender and liquid is absorbed, 12-14 min. Remove the pot from heat. Set aside, still covered.
While rice cooks, heat a large non-stick pan over medium-high heat. When hot, add 1/2 tbsp oil (dbl for 4 ppl), then turkey. Cook, breaking up turkey into smaller pieces, until no pink remains, 4-5 min.** Season with salt and pepper.
Add half the corn (use all for 4 ppl) to the pan with turkey. Cook, stirring occasionally, until corn is golden-brown, 4-5 min. Reduce heat to medium. Stir in Mexican Seasoning, garlic puree and 2 tbsp water (dbl for 4 ppl). Cook, stirring often, until fragrant, 1-2 min.
Combine sour cream, half the lime juice and half the lime zest in a small bowl. (NOTE: This is your lime crema!) Add tomatoes, avocado, half the green onions, half the cilantro and remaining lime juice to a medium bowl. Season with salt and pepper, then toss to combine. (NOTE: This is your pico de gallo!)
Fluff rice with a fork, then add remaining green onions, remaining lime zest and remaining cilantro. Season with salt, then stir to combine. Divide rice between bowls, then top with turkey mixture and pico de gallo. Dollop lime crema over top.
