    Yes, it does. Acceleration is defined as the rate of change of velocity. Velocity is the rate of change of position with a given direction i. e. speed with direction. So even though the speed of the turning car is constant the velocity is not. This means that the velocity is changing, and the rate of change of velocity is called acceleration. Hence, the car is accelerating.
