Was it the front or the rear turbo? Rear you might have to drop the subframe a bit, IIRC.
Some pics in this thread, no instructions though. Hope it is of help:

Check to see if you can still take on ESP coverage? There's usually a grace period, particularly after the B2B is up, may be same for powertrain also.

I don't have great hopes for coverage, but it's worth asking about. Try one of the online places like floodfordesp, lombard's, etc. I don't know if you can afford to wait to repair the SHO, there might be a "probationary" period before the warranty applies. Like home warranty contracts, 30-45 days, for example.
If that route doesn't work, you could always call up Ford National Customer Service (number in back of owner's manual) and see if you can work something out with them, as you are not far out of warranty by miles, and really barely out of the B2B warranty by years. They have reps on the Edge and Flex forums, that I know for sure, and they tend to be very helpful.

Is blowing a turbo a common occurrence in these cars or a rare one?
It's not frequent, but often enough to be known to happen. Did I dance around it well enough? 
Due to GDI & the PCV system "working" together, some failures may be due to turbine coking, others due to use of catbacks with excessively low backpressure (it is speculated). Yet others may be due to too much heat on the rear turbo (tight packaging in that space) causing early failure despite water AND oil cooling design.
So keeping the PCV system clean, keeping intercooler clean, and frequent engine oil/filter changes with quality parts are all important for the turbos to "arrive alive". Theoretically you don't HAVE to have a cooldown period for them after a hard run, but allowing a minute or two to cooldown afterwards in that situation is never a bad idea.

Rear turbo is a bit of a pain, mine was leaking at 14k. You have to drop the subframe.

Thought I seen in another warranty post on this site, that turbo's fall under the 7/70 or 8/80 emission warranty along with other emission parts. Might want to check your owners warranty manual under emmissions.http://www.ford.com/resources/ford/general/pdf/2013Warranty.pdf manual page 27
