Different pieces of air have different properties. Turbulence is just the plane adjusting itself to fly in a different type of air. When the difference is big the turbulence is worse but the plane will handle it no problem. There is basically zero danger to turbulence and in the extremely rare cases there is there are procedures to avoid it.
