There is nothing for you to do. You cannot speed the IRS up. You just have to wait for them to process your return.
TurboTax gives you an estimated date for receiving your refund based on a 21 day average from your date of acceptance, but it can take longer. “21 days” is not a promise from TurboTax or the IRS.
First, check your e-file status to see if your return was accepted:

Once your federal return has been accepted by the IRS, only the IRS has any control. TurboTax does not receive any updates from the IRS. Your ONLY source of information about your refund now is the IRS.

Yes, you can track your refund using the Where's my refund? tool.
If that doesn't show any information yet, sign in to your TurboTax account and make sure your return status shows as Accepted.
If you return is Accepted and the IRS hasn't contacted you, or posted any messages about delays in processing, there is nothing to do but wait.
