Welcome to 2CarPros.
The first suspect since it happens on turns is a bad CV joint. Take a look through this link and let me know if it mirrors what you are experiencing.

Next, place the vehicle in park, put the parking brake on, and craw under the front and grab onto the axles, one at a time. See if there is any play in the axles. Id you find there is, replace the half shaft which is both CV joints and the axle. Here is a link that shows in general how one is replaced:

_________________________________________
When you are working on the vehicle, confirm there isn't any excessive play in the ball joints or any of the steering components. A bad ball joint can also cause a clunk. Picture 8 shows the lower ball joint.
Let me know if this helps or if you have other questions.
Take care,
Joe
