Roll filled with a fowl for the oven (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

roaster

'fowl for the oven' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'roll filled with a' is the wordplay.
'roll' becomes 'roster' ('roster' can be a synonym of 'roll').
'filled with' indicates putting letters inside.
'roster' enclosing 'a' is 'ROASTER'.

(Other definitions for roaster that I've seen before include "Chicken, perhaps" , "Fowl for the oven" , "A pig" , "hot day" , "Oven-ready bird" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
