dir() and help() are your friends.
After doing dir(turtle) I spooted this likely looking candidate and ran
help on it:
--------------
setposition(x, y=None)
Move turtle to an absolute position.
Aliases: setpos | setposition | goto:
Arguments:
x -- a number or a pair/vector of numbers
y -- a number None
call: goto(x, y) # two coordinates
--or: goto((x, y)) # a pair (tuple) of coordinates
--or: goto(vec) # e.g. as returned by pos()
Move turtle to an absolute position. If the pen is down,
a line will be drawn. The turtle's orientation does not change.
etc

Similarly, I found the window_width() and window_height() methods.
So, to get to the top left corner you'd
goto( -window_width/2, window_height/2 )
