Turbo Tax told me to select a 1099-K for hobby income, but I don't have a 1099-K for it. The income was below the threshold for a 1099-K and cash.

You don't need Form 1099-K to report Hobby Income. From the left column, go to Federal → Wages and Income → scroll down to bottom → Less Common Income → Miscellaneous Income.

Be aware that the IRS doesn't let you deduct hobby expenses from hobby income because you’re not considered self-employed.

However, if you consider your hobby to be a business, you can set up a self-employed business and report both income and expenses on Schedule C. Note that the net income would be subject to self-employment taxes.
