A turn around is really chord progression. However, as I've known it, I think of it more as variations on a theme or slight deviations in a rhythm pattern that resolve back at the same riff. I think a good example is the theme that runs through AC/DC's 'Girls Got a Rhythm'.
It seems that these terms have a wide definition so mine is my perception of these terms but I'm sure there is certainly more to them.
Note: You had mentioned that you found one but didn't say which so I figured I give my two pennies on them anyway.

George Benson is famous for his double stops. I think they are mostly octaves and are easy to do. But they make a simple solo sound big.

a turn around can also be seen as a short chord progression at the end of a chorus of a blues.
Usually in a Jazz Blues the last two bars would have a turn around (often the succession of II-Vs or their substitutions) to 'turn around' to the beginning.
