There are numerous reasons that could be answer to why your turtle is not eating. Here are some.

1. your turtle does not recognize the food as food.

2. your turtle has just moved to a new environment and does not feel comfortable enough to eat yet.

3. your turtle is too cold to eat, keep him in water the temperatures of 74-80 degrees F.

4. Your turtle is sick

5. your turtle is pregnant and not eating as much but still eating some.

6. your turtle has hatched less than about 10 days ago and is still absorbing the yoke from is egg or is not hungry yet.

7. Your turtle doesn't like the food. Try turtle pellets, live fish, small snails or tadpoles, earth or blood worms, and turtle safe aquatic plants.

8. your turtle may be a picky eater, try tempting him to eat with hard boiled eggs, cooked chicken, or raw ground beef.

If your turtle doesn't start eating soon then take him to a reptile vet to see if he is sick or not.
