If your return does not include a Schedule C, then that is the problem that TurboTax is trying to get you to fix.
Income reported on Form 1099-NEC is not reportable directly on your tax return. Just entering the information on that form is only the first step. Since it is self-employment or 'non-employee compensation' it must be associated with a Schedule C, even if there are no expenses being claimed.
The information required for the Schedule C will include the type of business, the business name (or your name if there is no specific business name), the business address (or your address), etc.
See the following TurboTax article for guidance to enter a Schedule C so that the Form 1099-NEC can be linked to it:
