I don't know Turisas, but I don't think the comparison of either of those bands to Ensiferum is really fair. (Though I still like Ensiferum's first two albums and the two bands I mentioned.) They both have their own unique styles to me, and wouldn't fall under the knock-off sorts of bands I think you're alluding to.
Here're a couple songs each by them which I wouldn't really consider Ensiferum-esque.
Catuvolcus - La Colline de Chanturge - YouTube
Catuvolcus - Voyageurs des Brumes Pt. I & II (Lyric Video) - YouTube
MÅNEGARM | Vargstenen - YouTube
Månegarm-Dödens Strand - YouTube
Also, here's another epic Metal song I love.
Gallowbraid - Ashen Eidolon - YouTube
