That's true but for YOU it will need to be ME turbine.

They only allow ASEL turbine time because some fighters only have one engine. If you're not a fighter pilot, they really want multi turbine crew time. It would be exceptionally rare for someone to get hired at a good major with only caravan or pilatus time, and there would probably be a good reason for it like affirmative action or family in senior management.

In this industry you cannot plan your career based on published minimums, you need to do the research and find out what the actual competitive minimums are (and it's different for mil vs. civilian).
