Laura was a sprint hurdler in her early career, winning the Junior Inter-Area race in 2001 in a PB 14.35w, turning to sprinting from 2002. She had a very good performance at the 2006 Commonwealth Games, finishing an unexpected fourth in the final before winning a silver medal in the 4x100m relay. In 2007, Turner clocked a PB of 11.19 in Loughborough right before the World Championships, where she ran to form, making the semi-finals, before helping the British squad to fourth in the 4x100m final.

In 2008, Turner won her second consecutive national 60m title, before making the world indoor semi-final. Turner was third at the Olympic Trials but did not progress through the heats in Beijing.

Having been at Brunel University where she studied for an MSc in physiology, she works as a part-time health adviser. Laura can also play flute, clarinet and saxophone.
