Satirist primarily turns out parodies (5,2)

I believe the answer is:

sends up

'parodies' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

'satirist primarily turns out' is the wordplay.
'primarily' says to take the initial letters.
'turns out' becomes 'ends up' (I've seen this in another clue).
The initial letter of 'satirist' is 's'.
's'+'endsup'='SENDS UP'

(Another definition for sends up that I've seen is " Takes the mickey".)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
