It means that someone is trying to get something that is not possible...usually trying to get debt money from someone who doesn't have any money at all. The analogy is that there is no such thing as blood in a turnip, it just isn't there and no one can get any blood from it no matter how hard they try...just like if a person has no money and someone wants them to pay them money, no matter how hard they try they won't be able to make them pay, because there is no money.
