I believe the answer is:

sinatra

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'a star turn' is the definition.
The definition suggests a singular noun which matches the answer.

'in a star turn' is the wordplay.
'turn' is an anagram indicator.
'in'+'a'+'star'='inastar'
'inastar' with letters rearranged gives 'SINATRA'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for sinatra that I've seen before include "Francis Albert, mourned singer" , "Frank . . . . . . ., late great popular singer" , "'Old Blue Eyes'" , "'Ol' Blue Eyes'" , "Something of a strain for top crooner" .)
