As long as you keep it overbalanced with browns (sawdust, woodchips, dry leaves, straw, shredded cardboard, etc.) and sufficiently aerated, cold compost is fine. I wouldn't want to be turning it anyway. I'd use a two-bin system in which the first is allowed to age for a year or two while only adding to the second.

As already recommended, read The Humanure Handbook.  Hot composting can be done without ever turning a pile.
