Land failure (6)

I believe the answer is:

turkey

This clue is a double definition.

'land' is the first definition.
(Turkey is an example)

'failure' is the second definition.
(turkey is a kind of failure)

(Other definitions for turkey that I've seen before include "Bird - country - flop" , "Large farmed bird" , "Partly European country" , "foreign land" , "It achieved independence from the Ottoman Empire in 1923" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
