Fruit given a place of honour in old Turkey (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

sultana

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

'fruit' is the definition.
(sultana is a kind of fruit)

'a place of honour in old turkey' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite see how this works, but
'a' could be 'an' and 'an' is present in the answer.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).

'given' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for sultana that I've seen before include "fruity little thing" , "Shrivelled up" , "concubine?" , "Muslim ruler's wife perhaps" , "Small dried fruit" .)

I've seen this clue in The Globe and Mail.
