Aircraft Weight And Turn Performance

Could one explain how aircraft weight may or may not effect aircraft turning ability or cite a link to such information?

Are control surfaces less effective for a turning aircraft when it is heavier? (for example a fully loaded commercial Boeing as opposed to an empty one)

Thanks!
