The centre-back, who was at the centre of Dirk Kuyt's controversial opener on Saturday, helped the Black Cats to a 2-2 draw at Anfield after recovering from an ankle injury.
Ahead of the Merseyside clash, 26-year-old Turner had endured a frustrating start to the new season, serving a two-game ban carried over from last season before picking up the knock on his return against Manchester City.
But the former Hull City stopper has reported no ill effects following Saturday's encounter.
When asked if he came through the match feeling good, Turner told Sunderland's official website: "Just about. At times I felt it but ankle injuries always take time to heal.
"I was pleased to get 90 minutes under my belt - that's the first full league game of the season for me."
Turner's return provides a welcome lift for manager Steve Bruce, who is missing Anton Ferdinand, John Mensah and Kieran Richardson in defence due to injury.
Man. Utd 4/7, Draw 11/4, Sunderland 11/2
