In tent, turn back what culture may have produced (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

yogurt

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

'culture may have produced' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this defines the answer.

'in tent turn back' is the wordplay.
'in' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'tent' becomes 'yurt' (I've seen this before).
'turn' becomes 'go' (a person's move in a board game).
'back' is a reversal indicator.
'go' backwards is 'og'.
'yurt' placed around 'og' is 'YOGURT'.

'what' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for yogurt that I've seen before include "Semi-liquid dairy product" , "Food prepared from thickened milk" , "Cultured fare" , "Grouty (anag.)" , "Food made from milk thickened with bacteria" .)
