Ladies and Gentlemen:

         On behalf of the Turner Funds (the "Registrant"), and pursuant to Rule
497(j)(1) and (2) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "1933 Act"),
the Registrant certifies that the form of Prospectus and Statement of Additional
Information dated July 15, 2009, which would have been filed under paragraph (c)
of Rule 497 under the 1933 Act, would not have differed from that contained
in the Registrant's Post-Effective Amendment No. 63 to the Trust's Registration
Statement on Form N-1A under the 1933 Act, filed electronically with the
Securities and Exchange Commission on July 13, 2009.

         Questions and comments concerning this letter may be directed to the
undersigned at (215) 988-2959.

                                                          Very truly yours,

                                                          /s/ Joshua B. Deringer
