There's not tons of info available on this topic, but here's what I could find:

Some people do list Okra as a rabbit-safe food, and the HRS does not identify it as poisonous (see links below), so it's probably safe for your bunny to eat.

Generally speaking, leaves, flowers, and stems are better for rabbits than fruit (with okra, that's the seed pod -- the part that we eat). Okra fruit, like all fruit, should be strictly limited as a treat: one or two bites is enough.

Okra is high in oxalates, so it shouldn't be fed too much or often, and it may not be good for any rabbit that has urine sludge or urine stones.

Any time you give your rabbit a new food, start small and slow. Start with just one bite, then wait a day or two before upping the portion. Watch for signs of ill health, especially gas or digestive problems (see related questions below for details). Stick to one new food at a time, so if the rabbit gets sick you know exactly what caused it.

Yes, a turtle can eat okra as an occasional food item, but not as a staple food. Okra is moderately high in oxalates, which can limit the absorption of calcium if fed in excessive amounts.
