On 1 June, Turner featured in the Women's FA Cup Final as Everton lost 2–0 to Arsenal at Stadium MK.[7]
Bristol City
In January 2017, Turner joined Bristol City ahead of the FA WSL Spring Series.[8] She made her debut in a 3–1 defeat to Reading on 22 April and went on to play in a further seven games that season.[9]
Turner was named captain ahead of the 2017–18 FA WSL campaign and scored her first goal for the club in a 2–1 loss to Chelsea in the FA WSL Cup on 4 November.[10][11] She scored her first league goal in a 6–1 defeat to Manchester City on 3 May 2018.[12]

On 1 July 2018, Turner joined the newly-formed Manchester United to compete in the FA Women's Championship, reuniting with manager Willie Kirk who had been appointed assistant manager at United.[13][14][15] She was one of seven players to return to the senior side having played for the club at youth level.[16] She made her debut for the club in a 1–0 FA WSL Cup win over Liverpool on 19 August, and her league debut three weeks later in a 12–0 victory at Aston Villa.[17][18] On 23 September, Turner scored her first goal for the club during a 5–0 win against London Bees.[19]
