Record that is covering turf event (7)
I believe the answer is:
episode
'event' is the definition.
(episode is a kind of event)
'record that is covering turf' is the wordplay.
'record' becomes 'EP' (abbreviation for extended play record).
'that is' becomes 'ie' (short for Latin 'id est', 'that is').
'covering' indicates putting letters inside.
'turf' becomes 'sod' (synonyms).
'ie' going around 'sod' is 'isode'.
'ep'+'isode'='EPISODE'
(Other definitions for episode that I've seen before include "One of a related series of events" , "Instalment of broadcast serial" , "Instalment; incident" , "Instalment; event" , "Incident forming part of a sequence" .)
