turnovers
- 1Plural of turnover.

Note
The -s is regular, but it sits on a noun that is both countable and uncountable in every one of its meanings. The plural appears when separate instances are counted: apple turnovers on a tray, turnovers committed in one game, a firm's turnovers across several years. When turnover names a rate or a total, as in "staff turnover is high," English usually keeps the singular, so the plural there marks distinct periods or cases.
