I wouldn't say it was a turning point. The Battle of Concord in April of 1775 was more a turning point, then there was the battle of Bunker Hill, and the siege of Boston. The Declaration wasn't signed until July 4, 1776 so a great deal had gone on before it. I think of it more as statement of reasons, purpose and facts to tell the world why they wanted to be free of the English crown.

No! They are two separate things. A Revolution is a turning around - The societal structuring (form of Government) was radically changed from a monarchy to a democracy - That was a turning around.
