I saw on the DIY TV program today a demonstration of how to turn a metal
bowl out of aluminum. The program was "Woodturning Techniques".
I try to watch it every week. The guy is a real pro. Do any of you out there
know where I can purchase metal blanks for making these bowls? I believe
the blanks come in aluminum, pewter, and copper. Thanks for your help.

Sure, try here. They sell brass, pewter, and copper disks.

That's acually "spinning", not turning. Although I expect that
spinning is what Dave actually wanted. I doubt many wood laths could
machine a block of aluminum into a bowl. Spinning a sheet is, well, much
easier.
