Turn hand and flip one's lid (2,7)

I believe the answer is:

go bananas

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

'flip one's lid' is the definition.
'go bananas' can be an answer for 'flip' (I've seen this before). I'm not certain of the 'one's lid' bit.

'turn hand' is the wordplay.
'turn' becomes 'go' (a person's move in a board game).
'hand' becomes 'bananas' (I can't explain this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'go'+'bananas'='GO BANANAS'

'and' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for go bananas that I've seen before include "Become mad or furious" , "Show enthusiasm" , "Be extremely excited" , "Become wild" , "Lose one's cool" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
