Train ’em to use a turret (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

minaret

'a turret' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

'train 'em to use' is the wordplay.
'to use' indicates anagramming the letters (I've seen 'used' mean this).
'train'+'em'='trainem'
'trainem' with letters rearranged gives 'MINARET'.

(Other definitions for minaret that I've seen before include "Muezzin's tower" , "Raiment worn on mosque tower" , "religious tower" , "Building" , "Slim tower of a mosque" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
