If you are turning the eggs by hand you need to do odd numbers so that the embryo does not end up in the same place every night. So either 3 turns per day or 5 turns per day. 7 turns would be good but now you are opening the incubator to much and letting the heat and humidity out. So if you have the time, spread out 5 turns over the course of the day.
In an automatic incubator the machine will turn the eggs between every hour or 2 hours day and night depending on the model.

How do you turn a bird egg?
Turning is literally that - eggs are turned during incubation. Incubated by the parent, the bird randomly shuffles the eggs around beneath it several times a day. In an incubator eggs are mechanically turned-over around, typically once every hour. Early in incubation, moving the eggs brings the embryo into contact with a fresh area of the surface of the yolk, the food for the embryo. Turning has other effects later in incubation.
What heat does a turkey egg need to be at?
Unlike chickens, turkeys take 28 days to hatch. The ideal temperature for incubation of a turkey egg is 99F and a humidity of 60%+. Turkey eggs need to be turned as much as 5 times every 24 hours. Large drops in temperature can slow or even stop embryo development. Keep the eggs away from drafts and rapid temperature fluctuations.
