Being Turkish, is sweet (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

delight

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

'sweet' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both related to thinking as well as being singular nouns.
Maybe they are linked in a way I don't understand?

'being turkish' is the wordplay.
I cannot really see how this works, but
'being' could be 'light' (light is a kind of being) and 'light' is found in the answer.
This may be the basis of clue (or it may be nonsense).

'is' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for delight that I've seen before include "Give great pleasure to" , "Please highly" , "Transport - please" , "Happiness" , "Gladness" .)
