Don't think that you really need to. It will get oil pretty quickly when you start the car.

But just to be safe is there a way to do it? To prevent anything from happening.

You can squirt (pour) oil into the feed line. Most of it will drain back down via the return line though.

Let me clarify, I meant to say that you can squirt/pour oil into where the oil feed line attaches to the turbo housing.
