Pedja is right, you should definitely analyze blues standards to see how turnarounds work over give harmony. It's not that difficult, and you can jam your way into turnaround licks yourself as well. It can be a good improvisation exercise. Record turnaround on your PC, and try to play licks over it. Before you start playing, it may be a good idea to focus on some scales (Pedja mentioned pentatonic minor). Start from there, and see how you can create your own turnaround licks. As you can tell by know, turnaround is leading to the tonic chord, so you can try to play all kinds of licks that lead you to tonic, over V chord. I recommend that you start easy with V-I and then move on to other resolutions. You can approach using arpeggios, ascend to tonic, descend to tonic, use bends, vibratos, insert blue note etc. These are all just plain examples, but offer lot of possibilites.
