Put the can in the turtle's highlighted inventory slot (usually the first), enter the Lua prompt (type "lua", hit return), then enter:

turtle.place()

I've no idea if this will work (or rather, I'm only 90% sure that it won't), but if it doesn't, then I'd assume what you want can't be done with turtles.

If memory serves Thermal Expansion has some sort of automater block which has been known to do what you want, but it wouldn't surprise me if that's been patched out by now on the basis that the can is specifically not meant to be automated.
