This may seem like a simple question but. ..
Does a players reaction, even if used on someone else's turn, still count as being part of that players turn in that round?
For example, if player A sneak attacks on his turn, could he use his reaction 2 turns later, meeting all requirements, to sneak attack again?

Apparently yes; there is a designer tweet on this somewhere.
A Rogue in a party with a Battlemaster fighter with commanders strike is nasty indeed.

Can anyone paste that tweet here by chance?
It does work on reactions. I know there is a better example but here is what I see:
1/turn would make it usable w/off turn attacks
Make sure to read his replies.
I know there is a better quote out there, but I can't find it.

The breakdown of combat is Round: individual turns.
Some people use the forms interchangably, but they're really not.
One round is going from initiative 100 through -100 (or whatever, it's an abstract as some will have over 20 on initiative, some will have a negative modifier).
Each initiative number is a turn.

More of the same, easier to read:
How does the term 'per turn' work? Could a PC who can make an attack 'per turn' make an attack on everyone elses turn? yes, though you'd still need to use your action or reaction. -M

That, combined with the one I posted above was what I was looking for!

I think a turn should be defined in a similar manner to a day. A solar day is the length of time between sunrise and sunrise, or between noon and noon - the point being the sun is in the same position relative to the place of observation.
In the same way, a turn lasts from the same initiative point (e.g., +10) to the next time +10 rolls around - or +20, or -10.
What this means for a particular combatant is that they have a place in the initiative order, and a turn lasts from the point where that initiative is reached, until the next time it is reached.
For the nerdish, a sidereal day uses the distant stars rather than the sun, and is somewhat shorter than a solar day because the earth orbits the sun and so has to turn slightly further to bring the sun into view.
In the same way, a turn lasts from the same initiative point (e.g., +10) to the next time +10 rolls around - or +20, or -10.
That is a round, not a turn.
