After gymnasium in Rakovec, Turković attended the Trade Academy in Trieste. Even as a young man, he had a managing role in his father's forest business. In 1882, Turković permanently settled in Kutjevo and continued his work on wooden products, the wood industry and building a family business. According to tradition, he entered his father's business at the end of the 1870s. In 1886, Turković managed the family business with his younger brother Milan, devoting himself mainly to exploiting oak trees and planting extensive vineyards, orchards and tobacco.[1][2]
In 1894, Turković moved to Zagreb to deal with the administrative affairs of the Turković family estate. In addition, he had other essential roles in Zagreb. He was a member of the board of directors of the Zagreb Plinara (transl. Zagreb Gas Plant) and Tvornica kože (transl. Leather Factory), and the president of brewery Zagrebačka pivovara and of the Croatian Discount Bank.

Three years after his death, his sons founded the Turković Brothers Bank. The bank went liquidated after World War II.[6] Also, the Peter Dragan Baron Turković Foundation went established by his son Vladimir in his name and on his brother's behalf under the patronage of Matica hrvatska.[7]
