[Python] Confusing error message while using turtle in Python 3

I'm doing a CSP assignment for school and I was getting a rather confusing error message while I was testing whether the color portion of my code functioned. This is my code:

import turtle
turtle = turtle.Turtle
turtle.color("brown")

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/tmp/sessions/1ab7a960b2c10b4b/main.py", line 3, in <module>
