My friend says that his RES is nuts about live shrimp. Maybe you can try that and small live fish. Only thing is that turtles are not very good at catching live food, so you can try those sold commercially dried and in cans, or offer them freshly killed ones. My turtles love dried shrimp, maybe because they smell good. I think the smell entices them.
Dog food might be good, since it is nutritionally balanced. Dry is usually too fatty, about 10% crude fat, and wet is better, but messier. It only has about 4% or less, which is about the same as commercial turtle pellets. I haven't really tried dog food myself, but it is recomended in many turtle books.
Liver has a lot of vitamin A (as well as B and D), and it is usually quite well received by turtles. I give mine a little once in a while as a treat and vitamin supplement.
All the best, hope this helps!
