As Jhumjhum said the action is completed when you use she turned.

You use " she's turning..." if she does it at the actual moment of speaking. So imagine you are a spy and follow a girl.You are handing on all progress she does to your complice.Then it would be useful to say " She's turning (left at this place)"

Well, you can use both the present continuous form and the past form
