His pans turn out to be European (7)
I believe the answer is:
spanish
'to be european' is the definition.
(Spain is part of Europe)
'his pans turn' is the wordplay.
'turn' indicates an anagram.
'his'+'pans'='hispans'
'hispans' is an anagram of 'SPANISH'.
'out' acts as a link.
(Other definitions for spanish that I've seen before include "Foreign language" , "Pin sash up for the language" , "Nationality of citizen of Malaga" , "The nationality has his naps" , "Language of much of the New World" .)
