My advice for a technically good turning kick is get yourself a chair, about hip height should do. As you bring your kicking leg up bring it over the chair and kick out, whilst at the same time moving your foot on the floor to be pointing almost directly behind you. The foot on the floor part will feel odd to start with, but it soon becomes second nature for all your kicks. When you start out on this exercise, make a definition between the lifting and kicking parts, and then as you get better mold them together. You may want to start with one hand on the wall behind you if you have trouble with balance.
