This is no way even to turn right (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

never

'this is no way' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'even to turn right' is the wordplay.
'to turn' says the letters should be written in reverse.
'right' becomes 'r' (common abbreviation).
'even' back-to-front is 'neve'.
'neve'+'r'='NEVER'

(Other definitions for never that I've seen before include "Strong negative" , "On no account" , "On no occasion" , "Not in a million years!" , "'It's now or - - ' (14 song)" .)

I've seen this clue in The Globe and Mail.
