I have a small plastic rule that is also a turner, Alex Anderson was advertising her multifunction tool that is also a turner - perhaps you could look that up. It's called the essential tool:

When I can't find my bamboo turner-----I use the tool from my cricket machine! It's plastic, but the same shape. Almost like a finger nail file. It's used for creasing folds on paper cards, but works for fabric corners, too!

It's called a "Point Turner".. generally sold at most fabric stores in their notions section. I know JoAnn's carries them... The one I have it bamboo.. Very handy.
You can also use other things, but you want something that has a nice rounded point so you don't poke through the corner.. many times the corners are trimmed closely and that makes them pretty easy to poke right through.
