Turner's primary research efforts have focused on equine lameness with particular interest in equine podiatry, back issues in horses, rehabilitation and thermography. His podiatry research has evaluated the radiographic and morphologic characteristics of hoof imbalance, as well as the differential diagnosis of palmar foot pain (PFP) and the development of PFP treatment strategies. Turner has researched the use of diagnostic imaging techniques for evaluation of equine back problems (including saddle fit) and developed epidemiological data on overriding spinous processes in horses.
