You might consider just reporting your RSU sales as you would a regular stock transaction. Whether entered as an RSU in TurboTax or a regular stock trade, the result on your tax return should be the same provided you have your correct cost basis, holding period, and sales proceeds.
Your per share cost basis is the total value of the RSUs on the day they vested, divided by the total number of shares you received--this includes the shares that were sold to cover the tax withholding. As you noted in your post, your employer sold some of those shares for tax purposes leaving you with the remainder. Your per share cost basis does not change. Thus, if you know your per share cost basis, you can enter that information into TurboTax and report the sale of your RSUs as a regular stock trade.
Many times, when the employer sells some of the RSUs, those sales do not result in a gain or loss. However, if your sold to cover shares did result in a gain or loss, just report those sales as a separate transaction in TurboTax. Again, if you prefer, you can enter all of these transactions as regular stock trades and avoid the screens that relate to RSUs.
