I believe the answer is:

buy

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

'obtain' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

'going out of turn' is the wordplay.
'going' becomes 'by' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should believe this answer much more).
'out of' indicates putting letters inside.
'turn' becomes 'u' (a 'U-turn' is a kind of turn).
'by' going around 'u' is 'BUY'.

'by' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for buy that I've seen before include "Procure" , "Accept truth of (colloq.)" , "Get" , "Purchase" .)
