When I am turning, either left or right, there is a creaking noise. It happens intermittently. I know this isn't all that detailed but it's my first car and I have no idea what is going on. I thought it might be the cv boot. Would that explain creaking on turns?

That's caused by worn or binding suspension parts. Those noises must never be ignored, especially on Ford products. On Fords, parts are likely to separate leading to loss of control and crashes in as little as a few hundred miles. On your car you don't have to be THAT concerned, but the noise still indicates a part is failing and could lead to an alignment problem resulting in poor handling and tire wear. Have the steering and suspension systems inspected at a tire and alignment shop. There are a number of potential causes that are not safety-related, but you don't want to take a chance on it being something more serious.
