If doctors didn't tell you much, maybe you shouldn't worry about it and You're right Turtles don't have rabies but If I were you I'd still keep an eye on it. You should probably disinfect it with alcohol or even take some antibiotics or something just to help protect yourself from the salmanella.

Good Luck
