  In an oven-safe skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat and brown the ground turkey with the sea salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and smoked paprika.

  Pour in the chicken broth and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.

  Slice the pear in half, remove the core, and sprinkle the cut sides evenly with the ground cinnamon.

  Place the pear halves cut-side up directly on top of the turkey and rice mixture.

  Cover the skillet tightly with a lid or aluminum foil and transfer it to the oven.

  Remove from the oven and let the dish rest for 5 minutes before fluffing the rice around the pears.
