That's a bit weird. What was she eating before?

By the way, I don't think forcing a turtle is a good idea. I think you should try to entice eating.

putting salmon on commercial food didn't work! :( It just took the salmon off, and ate it... :(

Maybe soak some of the pellets in the water packed with the salmon, but exclude the salmon when feeding her.
