For me, it depends on the type of food. If it's a food that's messy or falls apart fairly quickly, I net it out (of most of it out) when my turts stop showing interest in it. Foods like carrot peels, leafy greens, etc. that don't fall apart, I leave in the tank for the day, and take them out before giving them fresh veggies the next day.
If your turtles are leaving a lot of excess food in the tank (but are healthy and are eating), give less to begin with.
