Turned up in canoe, but missing out (3)
I believe the answer is:
dug
'turned up' is the definition.
(turn up can mean to discover or dig up something)
'canoe but missing out' is the wordplay.
'canoe' becomes 'dug-out' (I've seen this in another clue).
'but missing' suggests deleting specific letters.
'dugout' with 'out' taken out is 'DUG'.
'in' is the link.
(Other definitions for dug that I've seen before include "Breast of female mammal" , "Appreciated" , "Delved; teat" , "Used a spade" , "Excavated" .)
