According to the IRS, most refunds are issued within 21 days of your e-filed return being accepted & if you choose direct deposit. The 21 Days is not guaranteed, if there is a reason the IRS needs more information or is correcting the return it could be delayed.

Since your return was accepted, only the IRS knows when your return is going to be fully processed & when you will receive your refund. TurboTax does not get any updates on returns once they are accepted.

You can keep checking the IRS website, Where's My Refund, for the status of your return/refund. The website only updates once a day, checking more than that will not show any changes.
