The more expensive turkey, perhaps animal that eats right (6)
I believe the answer is:
breast
'the more expensive turkey' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both things that one consumes for nourishment as well as being singular nouns.
Perhaps they are linked in a way I don't understand?
'animal that eats right' is the wordplay.
I cannot really understand how this works, but
an anagram of 'eats' is 'east' which is present in the answer.
'right' could be 'r' (common abbreviation) and 'r' is present in the answer.
A single letter 'b' remains which might be clued in a way I don't see.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).
'perhaps' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for breast that I've seen before include "face" , "Milk-secreting organ" , "Cut of chicken" , "Part of a jacket" , "Invalid's helper" .)
