Female makes list: skewers, caviar, turnover (7)
I believe the answer is:
eleanor
'female' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'list skewers caviar turnover' is the wordplay.
'list' becomes 'lean' (both can mean to tilt).
'skewers' means one lot of letters goes inside another (inserted letters cut or skewer into the word).
'caviar' becomes 'roe' (fish eggs).
'turnover' is a reversal indicator (the letters turn over).
'roe' back-to-front is 'eor'.
'lean' placed within 'eor' is 'ELEANOR'.
'makes' is the link.
(Other definitions for eleanor that I've seen before include "Name used in Beatles song" , "woman" , "A reel by Ringo (anag) -- Beatles song" , "Wife of F. D. Roosevelt" , "Female" .)
