Turning refers to turning bonds into constraints are defined in the .mdp file:

constraints = whatever you have defined here (probably all-bonds if grompp
is reporting that all bonds are turned into constraints)

neighbor exclusions are from the beginning of the topology file for that 
particular [ moleculetype ] in the nrexcl field

[ moleculetype ]
; name  nrexcl
Protein_chain_A 3

nonbonded interactions between atoms that are no further than nrexcl bonds 
away are excluded. See also
