Question: What is Turbinado sugar?

Answer: Turbinado is just another name for raw sugar, that still has its molasses content intact. Other names for raw sugar are Muscovado and Demerara sugar. These are not literally identical, but they are the products produced at different stages of sugar processing. The differences between them are slight.
