You can use a matrix to rotate. First you set the position (I'm using the coordinates of the bitmap's centre). Then apply a rotation. Then draw using your matrix.

    Matrix transform = new Matrix();
    transform.setTranslate(xOfCentre, yOfCentre);
    transform.preRotate(turnDegrees, width/2, height/2);
    canvas.drawBitmap(bitmap, transform, null);

If you want your turning to be animated, then see my answer to "animating and rotating an image...".
