If you are using ProjectileMovement component, select the ‘Rotation Follows Velocity’ checkbox. It’s under ‘Projectile’ section.

If you want to increase the turn speed, increase the ‘Homing Acceleration Magnitude’ - and you might also want to cap its max speed by ‘Max Speed’ value (under ‘Projectile’ section)
