Technically the definition of a turbine means something powered by a working fluid or gas. So it's akin to asking 'could we have a human powered windmill?' By definition you can't.
Assuming you mean something along the lines of a small shrouded propeller. There are aerodynamics at work here that involve trade-offs. Generally larger slower props are more efficient at low speeds.
