Good morning friends. Here are a few more 'cold turkeys'. Hope you enjoy 'em.

I set crossies just for pleasure. I wonder if some of you excellent regulars would like to try a few of my clues? Since they're new, no letters!

Please withhold solutions till 5 pm BST (GMT+1) to allow others to have a go.

1. Unlocks and dips into bread (11)
2. Grounds for contracted healers, say, to be admitted (5)
3. It comes to light in “Star Comedy” (by Democrats) (10)
4. It’s practicable to revive flabby athletes’ hearts (6)
5. A low table for fools? (3-5)
