You could add Takes Recharge or Limited Use to make it less frequently used. I put the Vision-Based in there so that the cleric has to be in sight of the paladin. The Area Effect radius is arbitrary, it could be anything.

To make it more generic, perhaps Turn God's Enemies with Accessibility, only cleric's god's enemies.

How would you make it so that it can only be used one time per battle? Once there is a failure in a battle the turning power can no longer be used. There can still be counter affecting turning but once a cleric fails his/her roll the hw/she can no longer use the turning power.

If you give it a Takes Recharge that's over a minute long, that will be considerably longer than any battle. Although that would prevent counter-turning if the cleric has already used it once. I think, however, that you could adapt Takes Recharge and make it something like Only Once Per Target (which would probably be a kind of Accessibility limitation) for the same modifier cost.
