WaPo said his district could be up for elimination now.

Eliminating an Upstate Democrat and NYC-area Republican is theoretically doable, though the VRA and geography makes eliminating Turner's NY-09 a little harder than it may look, and he'd probably end up running against an incumbent Democrat in whatever district picks up his areas.  Plus, if Turner's election was a lucky fluke, you'd arguably be getting rid of two Democratic districts by eliminating NY-09.

One way it would work would be to use portions of NY-22 to make a Republican-leaning Upstate district Democratic-leaning.  Hinchey's district sucks up more Democratic-leaning areas of the Southern Tier.
