mast

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

'bar' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both man-made objects as well as being singular nouns.
Perhaps they are linked in a way I don't understand?

'hidden in christmas turkey' is the wordplay.
'hidden in' says the answer is hidden in the clue.
'MAST' is hidden in the letters of 'christmas turkey'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for mast that I've seen before include "Nautical pole" , "Acorns, etc., fed to pigs" , "Sail carrier" , "Television transmitter" , "Vertical spar for supporting sails etc" .)
