Turns during cruising

I've been playing flight simulator using PMDG 747. During long flights, I follow VOR to VOR routes which includes lots of turns. Sometimes these turns requires the plane to bank more than 20 degrees in order to stay on course.

Question is, when I am on a long flights in real life. I hardly notice any banks at all. seems like the plant just flies straight all the way to destination. How do pilots in real life deal with turns like that during cruise?
