What you're looking for is the turtle.towards() method, which returns the angle from the turtle's position to a target. It can be used in combination with the turtle.setheading() method:

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

The turtle.towards() method is flexible with respect to it arguments. It can take separate x and y values, a combined (x, y) tuple, or another turtle whose position it will target.

It's a commonly overlooked method, that folks reimplement, along with turtle.distance().

As I suggested in the comments, you can use a bit of trigonometry to head to a specific point:

target = (100,50)
d = math.degrees(math.atan2(*(target - turtle.pos())))
turtle.setheading(d)
