With a power flush machine. That's the only way to get anything more than a small percentage of the fluid out - with the turkey baster method you'd be lucky to remove 20% of the old fluid.
You could probably find the same service a bit cheaper elsewhere.

Remove the return line and place end in a bucket. Plug the resevoir fitting. Start motor and pour new fluid in as old is pumped into bucket. Have an assistant turn the wheels from "lock to lock" to help flush steering gear.
Why would you want to do this though? It's not a maintenance item.
If you just want to change fluid, go the turkey baster route and do it several times over the course of a couple of weeks.
You should be more concerned with changing brake fluid. It is hygroscopic and old fluid will lead to trouble.
