I believe the answer is:

kebab

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'turkish dish' is the definition.
'kebab' can be an answer for 'dish' (kebab is a kind of dish). I am not certain of the 'turkish' bit.

I don't understand the rest of the clue.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for kebab that I've seen before include "Meat dish served on skewers" , "Spitted and grilled meat" , "Brochette" , "Shish dish" , "Food grilled on a skewer" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
