WI: Could Napoleon conquer Ottoman Empire?

I skimmed through the comments, but Napoleon was interested in doing exactly this. This is why he garrisoned the Ionian Isles, the entire Egyptian adventure, and why he paid so much attention to who governed Naples.

The problem was that other stuff kept coming up and having to be addressed. And after Tilsit the Ottoman Empire would have had to have been divided with Russia.
