Ross

I believe the answer is:

bird

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

This could be a double definition.

'prison' is the first definition.

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

'term in' acts as a link.
I am not very happy about this link. Some or all of it may belong to one of the definitions.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for bird that I've seen before include "Egg-laying vertebrate" , "porridge" , "Creature - time in prison" , "Egg-laying creature" , "Nest builder?" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror.
