I'm thinking about building a Foundry deck that uses Amazon Industrial Zone to mass produce ICE. If I install and rez a piece of ICE on my turn using AIZ, and then I rez a different piece of ICE on the runner's turn, does The Foundry's ability activate both times? Or do I have too wait for the beginning of my next turn for it to reset?

In Netrunner each player has his/her own turn. An ability that references "turn" means only one player's turn. So yes, Foundry can trigger on either player's turn.
One of my favorite ways to use this to my advantage is to install something on the Corp's turn as Kate (to get her discount) with some kind of paid ability speed install mechanism (Clone Chip a Parasite, pop an SMC, etc.)
Yep. Mac loves to do this ("Before my turn begins, I use Clone Chip to install Parasite for one credit. It gets a virus token. Now, first click I install this Datasucker for free").
But don't confuse "first time each turn" abilities with recurring credits, which only become available again at the beginning of that players turn (not both players).
As others have said, yes.
Followup question for everyone:
If you play a Shipment from MirrorMorph to install an ICE on a server with Amazon Industrial Zone, when does the rez trigger?
Can you play MirrorMorph, install an ICE on an AIZ server, rez it, get a second copy from The Foundry, and then install that ICE as your second MirrorMorph installation?
Yes, you can.
The installs happen one at a time, and any conditional effects triggered are resolved immediately, in the middle of resolving the operation.
Yes
Yes, both times. This is just like how EtF can trigger on both players turns (with e.g. Minelayer).
