Turner excelled collegiately with West Texas A&M, internationally with Team USA and then on the PWBA Tour during the 1990s, before back surgery late in the decade derailed her professional career.

She was the 1994 PWBA Rookie of the Year and went on to earn four PWBA Tour titles in her first three seasons, including a pair of victories in 1996.

Though she left the tour for good in 2002, she remained in the national spotlight as a regular participant at the USBC Women's Championships, where she collected more than a dozen top-10 finishes and two Classic Team titles through 2013.

With the PWBA Tour on hiatus from 2003-2014, competitive opportunities for women were limited, but Turner capitalized on one in 2009, when she burst back onto the sport's top tier with a win at the 2009 U.S. Women's Open for her first major title.

She was the runner-up at the U.S. Women's Open in 1998 and finished second at the USBC Queens in 1996.
