Some synonyms are:

Even 'having' would be a synonym as well.

This is a special business use of the word “turn” and it only is used this way when followed by “profit.” Usually it is used when, in the previous or following year, there was no profit, just as it is used in your sentence.
The synonyms all have to do with generating.
Produced
Earned
Made
