Pungent air envelopes Turkey (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

strong

'pungent' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

'air envelopes turkey' is the wordplay.
'air' becomes 'song' (I've seen this before).
'envelopes' is an insertion indicator.
'turkey' becomes 'tr' (I've seen this in other clues).
'song' enclosing 'tr' is 'STRONG'.

(Other definitions for strong that I've seen before include "Resilient" , "Powerful; highly alcoholic" , "Great in power" , "is excelling" , "Robust and muscular" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
