No need to worry but still I would rather suggest you to get a post exposure antirabies vaccine.

You don't need PEP vaccination.
Being a pet parent keep your pet properly vaccinated.
Instead of turmeric just wash your wound with soap and water

Hello,
Since your dog is fully vaccinated, healthy, and under observation for more than a month without showing any abnormal behavior, the chance of rabies transmission is practically negligible.
You do not need to worry about rabies in this situation.
If the wound has already healed and you are otherwise fine, no further treatment is required.
For future bites/scratches:
• Wash the wound thoroughly with soap and running water for 15 minutes.
• Apply antiseptic.
• Consult a me immediately to decide about anti-rabies vaccination.
You are safe in this case.

No chances. If you have taken the vaccine and your dog is also vaccinated then there no chances of rabies. But never apply turmeric on any wound.
Next Steps
if a dog bites, first thing you should do is immediately wash the wound with soap and water
