turtle is built on top of tkinter. tkinter and pyqt5 each use their own event loop. I don't think it is possible (or at least, it wouldn't be very easy) to mix two different GUI toolkits (tkinter and pyqt5) in one app.

If you want to use turtle, you should build the GUI with tkinter and embed a RawTurtle in a canvas.

Or, alternatively, build the GUI with pyqt5, and make the drawing with, perhaps, a QPen.
