Nothing......Calm down
if there is no blood then the turtle just broke a nail.It will grow back just like it would in any other being that has nails/claws.

Yes it will grow back.. It's not that big of a deal. My turtles used to fight and Smee lost 3 of his nails. They've all grown back except they're all crooked. Pongo even bit of the whole nail and Smee's "finger" was red and kinda bloody. So it's cool. There's a picture on my other post about Shell rot in this same topic area. So yeah. relax.
