How to give up Christmas leftovers? (4,6)
I believe the answer is:
cold turkey
'christmas leftovers?' is the definition.
The definition suggests a singular noun which matches the answer.
I can't explain the rest of the clue.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for cold turkey that I've seen before include "Problems of withdrawal" , "When horse perhaps barred" , "Quick way to come off horse" , "Depression" , "Cure" .)
