If you have a GSM-standard phone capable of operating on the 900Mhz and/or 1800Mhz band(s), and if you can register it with the Turkish government (a big IF), you may be able to use international roaming in Turkey.

This is a relatively expensive way to make calls, as roaming charges can be high. Basically, you're paying two phone companies: your home one, which is billing you for the call, and a Turkish one, which is connecting the call.

To set up your phone for roaming in Turkey, see your User's Manual for how to select a local network.

You can see from this coverage map of Turkcell's network that virtually all of Turkey has mobile phone service, except some remote (white) areas in the east:

You may have to notify or activate international roaming for your mobile phone account while still in your home country, before departing for Turkey. Check on this so that you won't be disappointed when you arrive.
