Gosh, Mike, I think the solution is obvious.......... you need another pond
!

In lieu of that, maybe you could find the turtle something else to eat?

[about an adopted 7" red-eared slider turtle]

It's been about 3 weeks now, he's completely detroyed one lily while
leaving 2 others alone, and he seems to like taking bites out of the
pickerel rush leaves, but otherwise all is well.

Nah, I don't mind him snacking on the plants. I can get more.

I haven't seen him in a couple of days now though, wondering if he
went walkabout.
