Two places to find water in Turkey, perhaps (4,6)

I believe the answer is:

main course

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

'two' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I can't understand how one could define the other.

'places to find water in turkey perhaps' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'water' could be 'main' (main is a kind of water) and 'main' is located in the answer.
The remaining letters 'course' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't understand.
This explanation may well be incorrect...

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for main course that I've seen before include "A lot to take in" , "substantial part of meal" , "Substantial dish" , "Series of sailing lessons" , "Marine biology, perhaps" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times and The Sunday Times.
