Turn and listen out for implement (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

utensil

'for implement' is the definition.
(utensil is a kind of implement)

'turn and listen out' is the wordplay.
'turn' becomes 'u' (a 'U-turn' is a kind of turn).
'and' says to put letters next to each other.
'out' indicates an anagram (out can mean wrong or inaccurate).
'listen' with letters rearranged gives 'tensil'.
'u'+'tensil'='UTENSIL'

(Other definitions for utensil that I've seen before include "A container for kitchen use" , "Item, eg for kitchen" , "A kitchen pot or pan" , "Useful tool" , "Implement, maybe in kitchen" .)

I've seen this clue in The Daily Express.
