Turner, 30, made the move to the City Ground last summer in a permanent deal from Arsenal. He proceeded to make 21 combined appearances under both Steve Cooper and Nuno Espirito Santo, however mainly featured as a backup during the second half of the season.
Forest’s summer signing of Brazilian goalkeeper Miguel has dropped Turner to third on the depth chart this season. He dressed for the first time on Wednesday as Nottingham Forest suffered EFL Cup elimination at the hands of Newcastle United.
Turner, a former New England Revolution standout, has earned 44 caps with the U.S. men’s national team to date.
A move to South London would unite Turner with USMNT teammate, Chris Richards. The Eagles travel to London rivals Chelsea on Sunday.
