Patsy’s turned pale! (5)

I believe the answer is:

pasty

'pale' is the definition.
('pasty' can be a synonym of 'pale')

'patsy's turned' is the wordplay.
'turned' indicates an anagram.
'patsy' with letters rearranged gives 'PASTY'.

(Other definitions for pasty that I've seen before include "Meat-filled pastry dish" , "Cornish speciality" , "little pie" , "Far from healthy-looking" , "Pallid" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
