I assume the engine is the V6. Use a turkey baster or similar to remove as much fluid from the reservoir as possible and replace with fresh ps fluid. Drive a bit to circulate the fresh fluid through the system. Repeat a few times until the fluid is clean, hopefully damage has not already occurred.

Take it to a shop and have all the fluid exchanged

They’ll use a power steering flush machine to exchange all the fluid.

If that doesn’t fix the hard turning, you’ve got bigger problems.
