"Turabian" is the same thing as "University of Chicago Bibliographic Style."

For a journal article that is available in paper and online, cite only the paper version, even if you accessed it online. In other words, you don't need to the list the database it came from and the date you accessed it. This is my preference (Charles Bellinger); if your professor gives you different instructions, follow those.
Some journals exist only on the Internet (born digital journals); for example:
Bellinger, Charles K. "The Joker Is Satan, and So Are We:
Girard and The Dark Knight." Journal of Religion and Film
13, no. 1 (April 2009), 1-11.
