Crane-like bird Turkish commander found by main road (5)
I believe the answer is:
agami
'crane-like bird' is the definition.
(South American bird)
'turkish commander found by main road' is the wordplay.
'turkish commander' becomes 'aga' (I've seen this before).
'found by' says to put letters next to each other.
'main road' becomes 'mi' ().
'aga'+'mi'='AGAMI'
(Other definitions for agami that I've seen before include "Bird" , "S American trumpeter" .)
