She, as she called it, turned to,

Hello,

I just came across this sentence and since then I've been wondering to what She turned? To me, the clause is definitely is ungrammatical. What do you think?

She, as she called it, turned to, and soon I sat at a clothed table with bowls of food expressly cooked for me.

"To" is not a preposition there. It is an adverb. The expression "to turn to" means to set to work.
