I had to pay the state $500 in order to register my business and collect sales tax even as a craft vendor. Can I claim this as a legal fee deduction?

Yes, you can deduct it as a business expense.  In TurboTax Self-Employed, business expenses can be reported under the Self-employment income and expenses section.   You can report it under an expense listing, such as taxes and licenses.  (less common expenses)
