Robshaw, Quins' all-action flanker, was named Premiership player of the year while powerful centre Turner-Hall drove off with the Land Rover discovery-of-the-season award.
The two England prospects have been integral to Harlequins' most successful Premiership season to date, which continues this weekend with a home semi-final against London Irish.
Robshaw and Turner-Hall were also applauded for their part in Harlequins' run to the Heineken Cup quarter-finals, which included back-to-back victories over Stade Francais.
Robshaw, who has not missed a league game all season, beat England and London Irish full-back Delon Armitage into second place with Bath winger Joe Maddock, the Premiership's leading try-scorer, in third.
Turner-Hall, 21, was the unanimous winner of the young player's award, with Newcastle scrum-half Micky Young in second and Leicester's Ben Youngs in third.
Harlequins also provided more players than any other club to the Sky Sports team of the season in Robshaw, Mike Ross, Gonzalo Tiesi and Ugo Monye.
Harlequins missed out on a clean sweep when Leicester's Richard Cockerill pipped Dean Richards to the Hilton director of rugby award.
Cockerill only took the job in November, initially on a temporary basis after Heyneke Meyer was given compassionate leave, but he succeeded in guiding the Tigers to the top of the Premiership table and into the Heineken Cup final.
Richards came second for his efforts in building a successful side predominantly around English players.
