Turning right, cat getting cream (7)
I believe the answer is:
trounce
'cream' is the definition.
(I know that cream is a more specific form of the action the trounce)
'turning right cat getting' is the wordplay.
'turning' says the letters should be written in reverse.
'right' becomes 'rt' (abbreviation as in Rt Hon- the Right Honourable).
'cat' becomes 'ounce' (ounce can mean a snow leopard).
'getting' says to put letters next to each other.
'rt' backwards is 'tr'.
'tr'+'ounce'='TROUNCE'
(Other definitions for trounce that I've seen before include "Easily best" , "Beat badly in recount" , "Lick" , "Beat hollow" , "Thoroughly defeat" .)
