Here is turnaround lick number 2, played in the key of A. This lick work well as regular blues lick too, just skip the last 3 notes, and it sound good as a "normal" blues lick anywhere in blues. Part of the reason for this is that this one is played one note at time. Many other turnarounds have two or three-note arpeggios. The Turnaround #1 on this site is an example of a three-note arpeggio, for example.
One strong reason why a lick like this works well as a turnaround are those last three notes. These three notes kind of wrap up the whole lick in the V-chord. Licks that end like this, where it is obvious it is being finished of on the V-chord, will work great as turnaround licks.
I highly recommend you buy Guitar Pro - it's the best software I have found for learning guitar. Many of my lessons come with Guitar Pro files. You can download a trial version on the Guitar Pro website to see if you like it (I think you will).
