I did a backdoor Roth IRA Conversion in 2017. When asked in TurboTax "Enter Your Roth IRA Contributions" do I put $0 since I did a Conversion and not a Contribution?

Correct.  You did not make a Roth IRA contribution.

Be sure to enter any traditional IRA contribution you made in 2017 and be sure answer No when asked if you switched or "recharacterized" any of that contribution over to a Roth IRA contribution.  (You did a Roth conversion, not a recharacterization.)
