After playing in five European Junior Curling Challenges Turmann finally qualified for the World Junior Curling Championships in 2015. Turmann would skip the Estonian team there, with teammates Kerli Zirk, Kerli Laidsaulu and Johanna Ehatamm. The team finished the event with a 2–7 round robin record, missing the playoffs. In her last year of junior eligibility, Turmann led Estonia to a fourth-place finish at the 2016 World Junior B Curling Championships.

Turmann has played for Estonia at two European Curling Championships. As a 15 year old, she was the lead for the team, which was skipped by Küllike Ustav at the 2010 European Curling Championships. The team finished 17th overall. Turmann again played for Estonia at the 2014 European Curling Championships, on a team skipped by Maile Mölder. Despite being the team's official alternate, Turmann played in all 12 matches. The team played in the main pool of the event, and finished in 8th place overall.

She skipped her team to win Estonian Women's National Championships in 2018. She skipped Team Estonia at the 2018 European Curling Championships, leading her team to a second place finish in the B Division. This qualified Estonia for the 2019 World Qualification Event for a chance to make it to the 2019 World Women's Curling Championship. At the Qualification event, the team could not make the playoffs, finishing with a 3-4 record. In 2019, Turmann once again skipped the Estonian team at the 2019 European Curling Championships where her team got to compete in the A Division. They finished with a 2-7 record, which qualified them once again for the 2020 World Qualification Event.
