Not sure if this has been stated, but I'll just throw my input. It maybe useful and I would like to advice myself =).
When approaching a right turn (green light right turn, not stop and go), no matter what gear you're I do the following:
1 - begin to decelerate
2 - while decelerating I watch the speed of the car clutch in and down shift to 3rd, then let the clutch bite, and slowly lift up (like i'm upshifting)
3 - still riding the brake, I watch the speed a bit more and the road, clutch in and down shift to 2nd, let the clutch bite and slowly lift up (just like upshifting)
4 - while in second, I should be in the beginning of my turn, I begin to step on my accelerator and speed into the turn
5 - as I exit the turn, I let go of the accelerator, clutch in, shift into 3rd, let the clutch bite, then slowly let out -- then I go on my merry way.
this is how I approach a turn. Stop Sign I kind of ride the clutch a bit in 2nd or in 1st, depending on the situation.
