Turn Oscar out anew as a singer (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

caruso

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

'a singer' is the definition.
(opera singer Enrico Caruso)

'turn oscar out anew' is the wordplay.
I cannot really see how this works, but
'turn' could be 'u' (a 'U-turn' is a kind of turn) and 'u' is found in the answer.
an anagram of 'oscar' is 'carso' which is present in the remaining letters.
No letters remain.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).

'as' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?
