Turkey's army is probably not going to affect the war but would its strategic position? If Turkey joins at the right time it has the ability to drastically affect the middle east. For example an Axis Turkey opens another front with Egypt and perhaps they could link up with the rebellious Iraqis. Also to be considered is the fact that Baku is within striking distance of east Turkey.
Admittedly I'm not an expert on the logistical situation here so I'm not sure if it's plausible.
Probably the best POD is to have an alternate leader in power then Ataturk. I understand that on his death bed he predicted a 2nd world war and asked his colleagues to promise they would not join the war.
Bonus points if someone can make Hitler serve in the Ottoman Empire during WWI as a liaison officer under General Colmar von der Goltz (whom he greatly admired) and he is able to forge personal links with future leader.
