Exacly Russian data for Fw 190 A-4 sustained turn rate at 1000m is 22-23 sec. These confirmed also German raport from captured LA5 FN when they found that LA5 turn better then Fw 190 but worse then 109.

I dont belive that Fw 190 A could turn sustained better at low speeds then 109 or Spitfire. It could be close for P-51 or P-47 but not for 109 and Spit. No way.
