Because they digest all the parts that aren’t water. Turtles don’t need to spend much energy so they don’t need many calories. Jellyfish have plenty of stored energy and nutrients as well as any plankton or other prey they were currently digesting which will be digested by the turtle.

Bear in mind most reptiles regularly go days or weeks without eating
