I am curious as to what others thought would be the pricing of a magic item, a rod for instance, would be priced that replicated the effects of one of the "extra" feats. For instance, how would you price an item such as Rod of Extra Turning, Rod of Extra Rage, or Rod of Extra Lay on Hands. Perhaps this has already been done, but I haven't been able to find a solid argument for pricing. Thoughts?
IIRC, the starting "market price" for an item that grants the benefits of a feat is 5,000 gp (see ioun stones for a "non-slot" version that costs 10,000 gp). However, you may also want to look at druid's vestment as a cost-equivalent for increasing the number of times per day a class ability can be used.
I would compare the specific "extra" feat to a metamagic feat. Then price the rod similarly to the metamagic rod. Most metamagic rods work work three times per day, so I would make the "extra" rod grant three extra uses of whatever per day.
So, what you need to ask yourself is what does the exrtra feat compare to? Is it like Enlarge, Extend, Silent, and Still that use one slot higher? Or like Empower that uses two slots higher? Or like Maximize and Widen that use three slots higher? Or like Quicken that uses four slots higher?
Assuming that you are looking at turning, which is a first level special ability, I would compare it to lesser rods (6th level or lower). One slot rods cost 3,000 gp, two slots cost 9,000 gp, three slots cost 14,000 gp and four slots cost 35,000 gp.
I would say turning, and most other per day special abilities, compare to one slot metamagic feats. So I would say a rod of extra turning would cost 3,000 gp.

The ioun stone that grants Alertness is 10,000 gp, so is the Druid's Vestment(and it only grants ONE additional use, and uses a body slot).
The rules are quite vague in this area. Either Dragonchess Player's interpretation or mine will both work. Its a DM call for sure.

I don't have access to the book right now, but the Nightstick in Libris Mortis is a rod of extra turning.

Interesting. The rod in libris mortis grants 4 additional turnings per day at a price of 7,500gp. This seems too cheap to me.
