Narrative:
I was given a clearance to take the SID and then radar vectors. Just before my release I received an amended clearance to turn to a heading of 180 after departure from the runway. I took off with a 600 ft ceiling and attempted a right turn to 180 at an altitude of 1;500 ft. I am not exactly sure of the altitude. I entered turbulence and in my attempt to get the plane under control passed the assigned 180 heading to a 270 heading of which I was not aware because my main job was to regain control of the aircraft. I did regain control of the aircraft and was told to go to a 210 heading. I complied and maintained the 3;000 ft altitude that my clearance called for. I had no other issues for the rest of my flight.
