Using the compass is a good trick also, BUT the recommended method is to turn SOUTH not East or West, due to dip errors causing the card to move more rapidly and more overall. A Southerly heading will have the compass the most sensitive, and easiest to read. Then using the rudder pedals only IF YOUR AIRCRAFT will turn that way, will prevent over controlling into an unusual attitude. If your plane will not turn well with just rudder input, then you will need to interfere with overcontrolling by blocking large inputs with your body, ie: your legs, or hold your elbows in tight etc...
