When I didn't have the "turning tool" I would just take the strip and press the sides down and put the strip together and do a top stitch...NO need to turn the strips....works fine, chances are you are going to do a top stitch after you turn the strip anyway.
I do own the turning tool, but end up doing it just like you said. I almost always use fusible web or regular webbing to make the hand sturdier.
