turns at low altitude

...when is it safe to bank more than 15deg after takeoff? in our TOL cards you have the flap retraction and slat retraction speed, then a slats extended min maneuvering speed and a clean minimum maneuvering speed. so assuming i have to make a turn immediately after takeoff, am i limited to just 15 deg or will i safely be able to bank more than 15 if i fly faster than the minimum maneuvering speed for the takeoff flap setting? (incidentally this speed can be found right at the back, on the landing side for the same weight). also, what exactly does minimum maneuvering speed mean? does it just mean no banking more than 15 degrees? or are there other restrictions to this? thanks
