This is military fighter pilots' jargon. When the last missile is fired or when the ordinance has been dropped on target, it is then time to quickly get out of the area-of-operations. The pilot turns his plane towards base and shifts into after-burner. This has since been adopted by the civilian community to mean when a decision has been made, especially if it was a poor decision, you forget about it and press on with the next phase of the mission.
Man, flak was hairy out there so as soon as I dropped my load, it was turn and burn time let me tell you.
I had three on my ass. I braked, banked and ended up on the tail of one. I pulled the trigger and his wing just exploded. I lined up another, got tone and fired a sidewinder up his exhaust and he was gone! The third one ran for home so just befor turn and burn, I fired another missile in his direction."

When a person completely and suddenly, and often shockingly, goes from bad to good. The term came from professional wrestling to refer when a heel(bad guy) becomes a face(good guy) and the crowd cheers for him.
Dude did you see that wrestler's face turn yesterday?

Don't turn tail when you have a huge turnout like that.

Arbitrarily changing something in a way that does not improve it or detract from it.
