In July 2007, Turnbull signed a season-long loan deal at Football League Championship side Cardiff City.{{cite news|url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/teams/c/cardiff_city/6917379.stm |title=Bluebirds swoop for Boro keeper |work=BBC Sport |date=29 July 2007 |access-date=12 March 2010}} He was signed as a replacement for long-serving Neil Alexander, who left the club after a contract dispute, and began the season as first choice goalkeeper for the club. However, due to some errors in his opening games he was replaced for the 2–2 draw with Preston North End by Michael Oakes and spent the remainder of his loan spell on the bench before he was recalled by Middlesbrough on 5 October 2007 following an injury to second choice keeper Brad Jones. The recall was made by mutual consent between the teams.{{cite web |url=http://www.mfc.co.uk/page/news/latest/0,,1~1128170,00.html |archive-url=https://archive.today/20140706195935/http://www.mfc.co.uk/page/news/latest/0,,1~1128170,00.html |url-status=dead |archive-date=6 July 2014 |title=Ross Returns From Loan Spell |publisher=Middlesbrough F.C. |access-date=3 July 2014 }} After being recalled, Turnbull played in two of Middlesbrough's games in the absence of first choice goalkeeper Mark Schwarzer who had broken his thumb in training. One was the win over Arsenal at the Riverside Stadium on 9 December 2007, the score being 2–1.
After more than 11 years with Middlesbrough, Mark Schwarzer left the club during the summer of 2008 to join Fulham.{{cite news |url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/teams/f/fulham/7414143.stm |title=Fulham complete Schwarzer signing |work=BBC Sport |date=22 May 2008 |access-date=24 August 2008}} Middlesbrough manager Gareth Southgate decided not to buy a new goalkeeper and allow Turnbull and Jones to fight it out for the number one position.{{cite web |url=http://www.gazettelive.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/jones-turnbull-chance---southgate-3729928|title=Jones and Turnbull will get their chance - Southgate|first=Adam|last=Steel|publisher=Gazette Live|date=9 July 2008|access-date=3 July 2014}} Although Jones played the first game of the season, Turnbull was in goal for Middlesbrough's 2–1 defeat at Liverpool the following week, when Jones injured himself in the warm-up.{{cite news |url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/eng_prem/7565060.stm |title=Liverpool 2–1 Middlesbrough |date=23 August 2008 |access-date=24 August 2008 |work=BBC Sport |first=Ian |last=Hughes}} In June 2009 Turnbull rejected a contract offer from Middlesbrough, and informed the club that he would leave when it expired at the end of the month.{{cite news |url=http://www.skysports.com/story/0,19528,11095_5365568,00.html |title=Turnbull to Leave Boro |publisher=Sky Sports |date=5 June 2009}}

The following Tuesday, he started for Chelsea against Inter Milan at Stamford Bridge, in which he conceded a goal with Inter winning 1–0 but otherwise had a decent performance.{{cite news | title = Chelsea 0–1 Inter (agg. 1–3) | url = http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/europe/8568613.stm | publisher = BBC | date = 16 March 2010 | access-date = 17 March 2010}} He made another Premier League appearance against Blackburn Rovers in a 1–1 draw on 21 March 2010.
He was not part of the matchday squad who defeated Portsmouth in the 2010 FA Cup final, but still received a winner's medal.{{cite news |title=Chelsea's keepers of the faith demand more recognition |author=David Hytner |url=https://www.theguardian.com/football/2010/jul/24/petr-cech-hilario-turnbull-chelsea |newspaper=The Guardian |date=24 July 2010 |access-date=13 February 2011}} He did not play enough games that season to earn a Premier League medal.
Turnbull made his first appearance of the 2010–11 season when he played in the League Cup third round against Newcastle United as Chelsea went on to lose 4–3. On 23 November 2010, Turnbull made another appearance in the Champions League Matchday 5 group stage against Slovakian side MŠK Žilina as Chelsea won 2–1 when they came from a goal down to beat them. For the most part of the season, Turnbull remained second choice keeper behind Čech.
In the 2011–12 season, Turnbull began to get some more playing time. His first appearance of the 2011–12 season came he played in the League Cup third round against Fulham. The game finished 0–0 after extra time, and Chelsea subsequently beat Fulham 4–3 on penalties to go through to the next round. During normal time, Turnbull saved a penalty from Pajtim Kasami after Alex gave away the penalty (which resulted in a red card for Alex). In the penalty shootout, Turnbull saved two penalties from Mousa Dembélé and Bryan Ruiz.{{cite news|title=TURNBULL: FANTASTIC SPIRIT|url=http://www.chelseafc.com/news-article/article/2458943|archive-url=https://archive.today/20140706195941/http://www.chelseafc.com/news-article/article/2458943|url-status=dead|archive-date=6 July 2014|publisher=Chelseafc.com|date=22 September 2011|access-date=13 May 2012}} His next appearance in the League Cup was in the last 16 match against Everton. With 58 minutes gone, he conceded a penalty and received a red card. Čech took his place after coming on for Romelu Lukaku and saved the penalty from Leighton Baines. Chelsea went on to beat Everton 2–1 and go through to the next round. A quarter-final appearance followed, and was to be his, and Chelsea's, last in the League Cup as they lost 2–0 to Liverpool. During the match, Turnbull saved a penalty from Andy Carroll. With the 2011–12 Premier League season almost over, Turnbull played the final two league games against Liverpool (lost 4–1) and Blackburn (won 2–1) as Čech was rested prior to the Champions League final, in which Turnbull picked up a medal as an unused substitute. The game against Liverpool was his first league match in two years. His poor clearance led directly to a goal from Jonjo Shelvey.
Turnbull was released by Chelsea on 30 June 2013, ending four years association with the club.{{cite news|url=http://www.chelseafc.com/news-article/article/3220912/title/goodbye-turnbull|title=GOODBYE TURNBULL|date=30 June 2013|access-date=30 June 2013|publisher=Chelsea F.C.|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130701234408/http://www.chelseafc.com/news-article/article/3220912/title/goodbye-turnbull|archive-date=1 July 2013}} After being released by Chelsea, Turnbull was on trial with Dutch side RKC Waalwijk after being featured for RKC on 20 July 2013, in a pre-season match defeat to Rot-Weiß Oberhausen in Germany.{{cite news|title=Former Chelsea goalkeeper Ross Turnbull has trial at RKC Waalwijk|url=http://www1.skysports.com/football/news/11928/8834237/former-chelsea-goalkeeper-ross-turnbull-has-trial-at-rkc-waalwijk|publisher=Sky Sports|date=21 July 2013|access-date=4 August 2013}}
