Incident with turf found in European pasty? (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

episode

'incident' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'turf found in european pasty?' is the wordplay.
'turf' becomes 'sod' ('sod' can be a synonym of 'turf').
'found in' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'european' becomes 'e' (abbreviation e.g. EU).
'pasty?' becomes 'pie' (pasty is a kind of pie).
'e'+'pie'='epie'
'sod' going inside 'epie' is 'EPISODE'.

'with' is the link.

(Other definitions for episode that I've seen before include "Incident forming part of a sequence" , "Incident or one part of a story" , "A chapter or incident" , "Instalment; event" , "Instalment; incident" .)
