To "turn into" something means to become something (new). It's describing the transformation or changing of something, a new thing that you "turn" into. For example, you have a friend who was a poor student in school. However, they grew up to become a teacher. You could say, "I never expected you to turn into a teacher." Ex: The rural town was turned into a popular tourist destination. Ex: Julie was a quiet girl when she was young, but she turned into a popular cheerleader in high school.
