Planet with some makings of a start turn! (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

saturn

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

'planet' is the definition.
(Saturn is an example)

'with some makings of a start turn' is the wordplay.
'with' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'some makings of a start' becomes 'sa' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should believe this answer much more).
'sa' next to 'turn' is 'SATURN'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for saturn that I've seen before include "Turn as a planet" , "The second largest planet" , "Roman god - gas giant" , "orbits the sun" , "Giant planet" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
