TheWoWDBHead up and down the coast North of Theramore. The turtles are level 36-37, and the droprate is fairly low, so you'll be killing a lot of them.
They do drop the Thick Scaly Tails and Speckled Shell Fragments, though, so it's not all that bad of a grind. They're gray, but they sell for a decent amount to vendors.

Confirmed quite low drop rate. However, the turtles drop Turtle Meat (surprise!) that can be used for Soothing Turtle Bisque quest in Southshore: http://www.wowhead.com/?quest=555 The reward is a recipe by the same name, which isn't sold by any vendors as far as I know: http://www.wowhead.com/?item=3737
Before you pick up this quest, Go see Angus Stern in Stormwind City, for the quest called "Morgan Stern". It is a prequest to this one.

Description
I'm working on a dish I call "Mudrock Soup and Bugs." I still need the major ingredients, and... well, I don't think I'd last long trudging through Dustwallow Marsh! So, {name}, can you do some hunting for me? First, I need the tongues of Mudrock turtles. You can find Mudrocks along the coast, mostly around the bay. But I don't want just any tongues! I hear that the tongues of some Mudrocks are forked... They say the forked tongues have a distinct flavor, and I want that flavor in my dish...
