The hosts led at the break through captain Konstantin Vassiljev's superb low free-kick.
But after a spell of heavy pressure, NI equalised through Conor Washington.
Josh Magennis then scored the winner three minutes later when he turned home Jordan Jones's low cross.
Victory means Michael O'Neill's side have won all three of their Euro 2020 qualifiers to date, having beaten Estonia and Belarus in Belfast in March.
The hosts were the better side in the first half and deservedly led at the break through Vassiljev's fine free-kick.
Madis Vihmann had a header disallowed in the first half after he was adjudged to have fouled visiting keeper Bailey Peacock-Farrell while Vassiljev rattled the crossbar early in the second half.
But as time went on O'Neill's side grew into the game and looked considerably more dangerous after the introduction of Washington, Jones and Magennis in the second half.
It was Washington's enterprising run and effort that brought about their equaliser. His shot appeared to glance off the chest of Magennis and evade Estonia goalkeeper Sergei Lepmets, meaning the goal was initially awarded to Magennis, though, it was later given to Washington.
Magennis, who scored a late winner to beat Belarus in March, combined with fellow substitute Jones to complete the comeback with a fine deft touch.
Northern Ireland will look to make it four wins from four in Group C when they travel to Barysaw to play Belarus on Tuesday with a formidable double-header against the Netherlands and Germany awaiting them in the autumn.
