I believe the answer is:

removed

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

'taken off' is the definition.
'removed' can be an answer for 'taken' ('remove' can be a synonym of 'take'). I am not certain of the 'off' bit.

'looking embarrassed about turn' is the wordplay.
'looking embarrassed' becomes 'red' (someone may go red when embarrassed).
'about' indicates putting letters inside.
'turn' becomes 'move' (move is a kind of turn).
'red' enclosing 'move' is 'REMOVED'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for removed that I've seen before include "Withdrawn" , "Having made a withdrawal" , "Took away" , "Taken away" , "Got rid of" .)
