You do not need to transfer your employer information from the TL2 form to your TurboTax form. You are unable to do so but must keep this paper copy available if CRA requests to see it. 

To enter your Meals & Lodging from your TL2 in TurboTax, you must first go to your Personal Tax Profile in the beginning of the interview, answer "Yes" to "did you work", then answer "Yes" to "did you have employment expenses". You can then choose that you had "meals & lodging expenses as a transport employee".
