ELI5:If a filter-feeding whale swallows say, a turtle, by accident, would the whale be able to digest it normally?

Any size whale, doesn't matter. Just wondering if it's digestive system could handle it.

IIRC, the throat of filter feeding whales is actually very small. The thing I've heard quoted is that a Blue Whale would choke on a grapefruit. If this is correct, then the whale in question would just spit out the errant, confused turtle in short order.
