Just to clarify - you're talking about making a turntable that has a diameter of around 4 foot or larger? That would take up (very) roughly the same amount of space as a reversing loop or turning wye (using 24 inch radius curves)! There's a book by Iain Rice that Kalmbach publishes, called "Small, Smart and Practical Track Plans", in which he describes what he calls a "cassette", that may be of interest. By using a cassette, you would have 2-3 in wide piece that could be removed, rotated 180 degrees, and replaced, all manually. When not in use you could remove it and store it somewhere.
