HELP! How do you work out the timing for the turn in Fur Elise?

Woo hoo, I've got Beethoven on the run now What a Face

, I can pretty much play the middle piece of fur elise, but I can't work out how to do the timing of the turn?.

As I am a beginner I have been drawing "hands together lines" on the music to show where the bass and trebble notes are played together, it has really helped me.

But with the turn, all that is written is the C note and the turn symbol, so I don't know how to work out how to play each note of the turn in relation to each note of the bass (I hope that makes sense).

I have watched countless you tube videos of people playing it but it is still not clear, does anyone have any tips how to master the turn confused
