done to a turn
The phrase "done to a turn" is an idiom that refers to food that has been cooked perfectly or prepared exactly as needed. It suggests that the food has been cooked just enough or for the appropriate amount of time to be delicious and reach the desired level of doneness. The expression can also be extended to non-food contexts, to mean that something has been completed or executed precisely or accurately.
