Tripe consumed in turn (6)
I believe the answer is:
rotate
'turn' is the definition.
(rotating is a kind of turning)
'tripe consumed' is the wordplay.
'tripe' becomes 'rot' (I've seen this in another clue).
'consumed' becomes 'ate' (to eat is to consume food).
'rot'+'ate'='ROTATE'
'in' is the link.
(Other definitions for rotate that I've seen before include "Turn around as on axle or spit" , "Make to spin around" , "Turn around an axle, swivel" , "Revolve" , "Turn around on axis or central point" .)
