It's according to what kind of turtle. Each has its own appetite.
In general though, they like meat and some leafy vegatation, such as seaweed.
Seems the more gentler the turtle the easier it is to feed: minows, worms, lettuce, cabbage.
Large sea turtles like to chomp on washed up seaweed.
Just don't put your finger in front of the common, deceivingly unassuming but very dangerous, snapping turtle. habitat: rivers, especially of the southeast USA. For it, you will find out fast it is not shy and loves any kind of meat. The eat hamburger, fish and fingers if you aren't careful. They are aggressive.. Put a strong stick in front of one. Once it sees it, if it can get its beak like mouth around it, it will quickly snap it in two. It won't eat the wood (you hand or finger is another matter), but will certainly show the power of its jaws and the quickness of the strike.
As with other carnivours, the'll go for about anything, but have preferences according to species and disposition.

Depends on if the turtle is aquatic or land. Aquatic turtles are "Omnivores" they eat all foods: Fish, Veges, Etc. Land Turtles are mostly Herbivores, with the exception of some eating small insects. A turtles eating habits also change as they grow, most of them become primarily herbivores.

Depends on the species, but:
Most fresh water turtles are carnivores- fish, bugs, shrimp, etc. Most become slightly more vegetarian as they get older.
Box turtles eat a mix of about 75% bugs and such, and the rest foraged veggies.
