Midge invading some fruit turnovers, perhaps (7)

I believe the answer is:

figures

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

'turnovers perhaps' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this definition defines the answer.

'midge invading some fruit' is the wordplay.
'midge' becomes 'Ure' (music producer Midge Ure).
'invading' indicates putting letters inside.
'some fruit' becomes 'figs' (I've seen this before).
'ure' going into 'figs' is 'FIGURES'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for figures that I've seen before include "Digits" , "Makes sense" , "Estimates" , "Imagines" , "characters' > features" .)
