The two possible problems are the Intake Air Control and/or the power steering has an issue.
The IAC, may not be responding to engine load changes to keep the idle up.
If power steering, the pump maybe putting excessive load on the motor at low rpm when a turn is taken.
One way to check if the power steering or A/C is the cause is to remove the belt for a short test.
Good luck.
