"Turiera" is not a Spanish word. Probably it is "tuviera". In that case, the sentence means:
"If I have it, I would not be here". Also can be:
"If (s)he has it, (s)he would not be here". And also any combination of first and third person ("tuviera" and "estaria" are exactly the same verbal forms for first and third person singular)
