Sweet kid the girl shut out (7,7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

turkish delight

'sweet' is the definition.
(Turkish Delight is an example)

'kid the girl shut out' is the wordplay.
'out' indicates anagramming the letters (out can mean wrong or inaccurate).
'kid'+'the'+'girl'+'shut'='kidthegirlshut'
'kidthegirlshut' with letters rearranged gives 'TURKISH DELIGHT'.

(Other definitions for turkish delight that I've seen before include "Confectionery" , "pleasure in Ankara" , "Jelly-like confection ..." , "consequence of a future decision on EU admission?" , "Sweet" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
