Can you swap one for the other?

Only partly. Almost all of turbot's flavor molecules (40 of 46) are also found in cream, but cream has 31 that turbot lacks. Turbot gives you part of cream's character without most of its dairy side. This compares flavor only; texture, moisture and the job each does in a dish matter too.
