Is it possible to ONLY file a state return now through TurboTax? Our state will charge interest if we file and owe after the April 15th original deadline.

You cannot e-file a State return without filing a Federal return with it, or you can e-file a State return after the Federal only if the Federal return has been accepted.

If you have not completed a Federal return, you cannot file just a State return on TurboTax.  The program does not have a standalone State return because Federal information need to flow into the State return.

To Add:  If you want to file your Federal now with your State & you do not want pay for taxes owed yet (if you owe).   When you go to file on the screen that asks how you want to pay your taxes, select by check.  Then you can transmit your return without paying. 

When you are ready to pay you can mail a check with the Federal 1040-V form) or pay online on the IRS website.
