When I was looking for a place to live, it had to be turnkey ready. Meaning ready to live in.

Player #76981972, Yes, it can mean prison guard. I've also seen it as "Turnkey business for sale," meaning all the equipment, furniture, etc., is already in place.

Player #76981972, you're probably right but it is also is used in this context. I've heard it a number of times about computer software where it is are sold as a "turnkey system" meaning that it's ready for the purchaser to use.
