Unfortunately the coil was so chewed up I couldn't reliably count the number of turns.
However, I did piece all the lengths together and I would assume that with the same total length of wire, wound in the same manner (or as close as possible) would result in the same number of turns.
I have numerous low voltage transformers that I'm never going to use for anything else- I'd thought to salvage the wire from one of those, provided it's not potted. I also have a huge copper coil (magnet wire) from a TV yoke, but I think that's too thick to use. Fortunately, the secondary coil was untouched, and so I have it for both a reference in wire size and winding pattern.
