No vaccination needed. Pretty safe
But please do not drink tap water.

In Turkey the most common virus is the hepatitis virus.Most of us Turks have formed an immune system that keeps us mostly away from hepatitis , but the case can be different with you.Tho it's not a very big issue in Turkey,doctors still recommend us , the Turks to get all types of vaccines of hepatitis(A,B whatever...)
Don't mind about the bird flue.That's a fairy tale really...Everything is totally under control and noone got hurt of it until now,except for a few farm keepers who touched some wild geese or dead birds with bare hands...No other bad news since last winter,and the meat processing is under a higher control now.So you can safely consume chiken meat (still better to be well cooked)in Turkey.
And if you won't use the public toilettes etc.,you don't have to get the hepatitis vaccines but it will be nice to have them...they'll also protect you from hepatitis virus in your home country after you go back...The vaccines are protective for like 5 years..
Enjoy!

Depends where you are going and what you have already had.
Normally Cholora. Typhoid. Polio, Tetanus and just to be sure Hep B.
Check with your practice nurse and all your current jabs should be on the system and will tell you if you need then updated or not, some last for 5 years and some for 10 years so go check and be sure. You may have to take Malaria tabs too.
Have a good holiday.

Well you don't need any specific vaccine, if you plan to do horse riding I strongly recommend you to have a tetanos vaccin (not as a Turkish as a horse rider...) , otherwise everything is safe including the chicken(I never stop eating it at I am perfectly well thank you...).As stated on the previous answers don't drink the tab water(sometimes it's clean but even than the taste is horrible stick to the bottled ones they are cheap...) and don't touch any strays who doesn't have clips on their ears...

Unfortunately, there's several.
Hepatitis A - Recommended for all travelers
Typhoid - For travelers who may eat or drink outside major restaurants and hotels
Hepatitis B - For travelers who may have intimate contact with local residents, especially if visiting for more than 6 months
Rabies - For travelers who may have direct contact with animals and may not have access to medical care
Measles, mumps, rubella (MMR) - Two doses recommended for all travelers born after 1956, if not previously given
Tetanus-diphtheria - Revaccination recommended every 10 years

go to your GP and they tell you what you need. - its the only safe and sure way of knowing but when I went in 2003 I didn't need any. Turkey is great fun, have a good holiday...

If your body is not familiar to friendly people, hospitality, innosence and nature, find a vaccine for those.
Otherwise, you need nothing. This is really ridiculous.
