Turf is more suitable gb-en, sod in this usage AFAIK is mainly us-en. In British & Irish usage a sod is more often a lump of earth or peat extracted from the ground rather than the desirable grass on top. Sod off is I believe distinctly gb-en.
Turf has the distinct advantage of being less likely to generate sniggers.
