They mean the same thing in that context. "Turn to" is a phrasal verb, and due to the nature of the development of the English language, phrasal verbs are generally more common and less formal than other individual words (which is why many cognates with languages like Portuguese and Spanish are more formal words in English than in those other languages.)
