Filing a 1040 with two dependent college kids with minimal income but they received W-2s. Where do I enter these? TurboTax only gives me the option of the parents' W2s.

You do not enter a dependent's earned income on your tax return. The dependent can file their own tax return and indicate on their return that they can be claimed as a dependent.

I suggest reading

and

for your dependents, https://www.irs.gov/help/ita/do-i-need-to-file-a-tax-return

Also, if your dependent(s) had taxes withheld, they may be entitled to a refund, even if they are not required to file.
