Usually the turning point is said to have been the Battle of Stalingrad (November 1942-February 1943), at least so far as the war against Germany is concerned. The Germans did still have sufficient strength remaining after Stalingrad to mount one last full-blooded offensive (Operation Citadelle) in the summer of 1943, in which they were defeated at the Battle of Kursk. After that the Soviets went over to the counter-offensive and were not stopped until they reached Berlin. In the Pacific the naval Battle of Midway is usually thought of as the turning point, though it took three more years to convince the Japanese they were beaten.
