What exactly is it about turf that causes injuries though? Has there been any actual research.

The pellets that hold the turf in can cause your cleats to stick to them. This causes extra torque on your routes and cuts, causing increased leg injuries. The Kelce brothers have talked about why turf sucks a couple times on their podcast.
