She holds various UW records and holds the NCAA record for shorthanded goals in a season.

She participated in the shootout for Team Atlantic in the quarterfinals versus Team Ontario Blue in a losing effort.[9] On two occasions, she attended training camp for the 2010 and 2011 IIHF World Women's under-18. For the 2011 camp, Turnbull was one of only two Nova Scotians who were invited. In 2016, she made the Canadian National Women's team and competed in the world championships in Kamloops, BC.[10] She also played for Canada in the 2017 and 2019 World Championships, and was selected for the 2020 World Championships before they were cancelled due to the 2019-20 coronavirus outbreak.[11]

Turnbull was selected to the Canadian roster for the 2018 Winter Olympics in Korea. She would put up 3 points in 5 games, winning a silver medal.[12][13]

In 2021, Turnbull played for Canada at the 2021 IIHF Women's World Championship, and suffered a broken fibula during the celebration after winning the gold medal.[14]
