Dealing with the wrestle up.

More specificity about how they’re getting to Turtle can help.

In general if they are just coming up from Reverse de la riva or something with a single Dante Leon style you can try being more proactive and pressuring forward/snagging an underhook to force them back down.

If you’re passing and they immediately bail out to turtle, look to getting a grip across their hip (or on their near-side hip ion their gi and anchor your elbow down) to prevent the rollaway.

And if you’re attacking the turtle either get to their side to look for chokes/hooks/seatbelt, or if you have to face them head-on look for a front headlock control before they can build up and attack you
