It's standard practice to allow at least 20 minutes of turn time, but I have been involved with turns that have taken 15 minutes or less. At one time Southwest was well known for turning planes in 10 minutes standard. It could still probably be done, but you'd have to get everyone on the same page about it in advance and be ready to rock and roll the minute the plane is chocked in.
