Almost useless facts - UK has smaller land area than Michigan
In this context 'turns out' means to discover something unexpected, so its use seems entirely appropriate as Dave has just found out that Michigan is larger than the UK.
Oh dear, it's not just the Americans who don't do irony is it?
You might just as well say, "turns out London has a larger population than Alaska" or "turns out Schubert wrote more music than Webern"!
