What are two different ways a plant could control turgor pressure, a name for internal water potential within its cells? is this a sufficient definition for turgor pressure?

Plants could control their turgor pressure either by actively transporting proteins to inside or outside of the cells in order to import ions or other solutes to increase or decrease, respectively, solute concentration inside of the cell, or through leaves' evaporation changing water concentration levels within the plant.
This is not an accurate definition. Turgor pressure is about the pressure of the cytoplasmic membrane over the cell wall, which will then impact water potential depending on the the pressure, whether is negative or positive.

Turgor pressure is defined as the pressure exerted by the fluid in the cell, which presses cell membrane against the cell wall. The turgor pressure in plants is generated through osmotic inflow of water into cells.  

The plants control turgor pressure in two ways:

1. The plants actively transport the proteins to inside and outside of the cells to maintain the pressure exerted by the fluids.  

2. The cells increase or decrease the solute concentration inside the cells. The leaves perform evaporation changing the water concentration levels in the plant.

Therefore, the turgor pressure is pressure exerted by plasma membrane over cell wall. It can be explained as the cytoplasmic membrane's pressure over the cell wall that impact water potential.
