Turko-Moorish and Russo-Manchu Americas

I was thinking of writing a story about an america colonized by moors and turks on the east side and Russians and Manchus colonizing the western side is this idea plausible?

And what would OTL American states and countries would look like after the Russians, Manchus, Moors and Turks had settled americas.

I know that seas of the sultan talked about the americas being colonized by Ottomans.

Possible, I think, not likely but I think manageable. Russians got to the New World OTL after all, speed up those efforts a bit. I have seen Ottoman-supported Granada as the main model for Islamic colonization of the New World, but you're much more likely to see colonization proceeding from an Islamic Iberia than from North Africa or the eastern Med.

Manchurians in the New World is much more out there, but possible. Manchus were not naturally navally inclined for obvious enough reasons but this is not predetermined. Taking over China should probably be avoiding, a trajectory against Korea and Japan more likely. Perhaps something like my Geum Korea timeline, but happening earlier in history. It would be cool to see a settled and literate Tungusid culture, able to project naval power.

The difficult thing would be, what would the Manchus want in the new world? Perhaps competition with Russians over fur, starting in Siberia and spreading to the New World over the Bering strait.
 
Also have to come up with a reason that other powers do not have an interest in the New World, such as France and England. You could stunt their growth or perhaps distract them in other regions (say, keep them in South America)

You basically need an Al- Andalus wank for the Moor thing, and it would still mean more of a Andalusi America than anything else. And a strong Al- Andalus would have little to do with the Turks.
