1. I usually turn mine twice a day.
2. In general, the best thing u can do is turn the eggs around three times a day, twice is okay but can often lower hatch rate slightly, once, well... it isnt going to be too successful. The mother hen turns her eggs hundreds of times a day so the more you turn an egg, the more success. Also, dont forget to keep the humidity decent if it is a thermal incubator. You can do this by putting water below egg tray, but try not to get the eggs wet (natural protective coating is washed off). Good luck! ;)
