Turn towards specific direction in turtle graphics?

How can I tell a turtle to face a direction in turtle graphics? I would like the turtle to turn and face a direction no matter its original position, how can I achieve this?

If you're planning on moving your turtle to an (x, y) point somewhere and you want to point your turtle towards that point first, you can use:

turtle.setheading(turtle.towards(x, y))

We can of course change the heading by turtle.setheading() / turtle.seth()

I'm referring to this documentation here.

This is what I used for my game:

#Functions
def go_up():
    head.direction="up"

def go_down():
    head.direction="down"

def go_left():
    head.direction="left"

def go_right():
    head.direction="right"


def move():
    if head.direction == "up":
        y = head.ycor()
        head.sety(y + 20)

    if head.direction == "down":
        y = head.ycor()
        head.sety(y - 20)

    if head.direction == "left":
        x = head.xcor()
        head.setx(x - 20)

    if head.direction == "right":
        x = head.xcor()
        head.setx(x + 20)

# Keyboard
win.listen()
win.onkeypress(go_up, "Up")
win.onkeypress(go_down, "Down")
win.onkeypress(go_left, "Left")
win.onkeypress(go_right, "Right")
