It seems like a simple thing to find the answer too. But, I can't seem to find it in the Hyper-V doc. I'm sure it's there somewhere.
Simple question, when I am in Hyper-V manager there are two options that seem similar but I am sure they are different. "Turn Off…" and "Shut Down…" What do they each do?
My gut tells me that "Turn Off…" is like pulling the plug on a physical machine where as "Shut Down…" sends a shut down message to the guest. Is that correct?
In both cases is the VM no longer running and using memory and CPU resources on the host.

you are correct in what your gut tells you.
