There are roughly between 250 and 300 species of turtles living today. Of those, the IUCN Red List currently has 212 listed with a status of endangerment that ranges from, "data deficient" with population waiting updating, to "critically endangered" with populations decreasing. There are some even listed "extinct" as recently as 2002. So, more than half of the species of turtles are listed as needing some form of protection, or study to determine there status. In general yes, you could call turtles endangered. For more details, please see sites listed below.
Many species are endangered, but as an order they are not in any immediate danger of extinction.
