Turning on a VOR

What technique do you recommend I use for turning over a VOR onto a new outbound radial. Eg say you are at 2000ft (I know height matters) and are tracking to DET inbound on 120 degrees. Then you want to track DET outbound on say 220 degrees. Do you go past DET for a couple of miles on the track to maintain 120 on the DME then turn at an intercept angle to bring in 220. Or, do you turn before it changes from "To", if so by how much on the DME and then on to 220 or an intercept from that point. Or do you turn at the actual point where To becomes From? On any situation it seems picking up the outbound radial is not easy to do in a quick manner and if you are close to CAS this might matter.
