The Ottoman Empire came to control the Northern coast of Africa from Egypt to Algeria. The further west it was, the looser the control got: in Algeria they were little more than overlords of the pirate chiefs who had the real power.
Egypt became independent in all but name under Mehemet Ali. It was he and his successors, not the Ottomans, who penetrated into the Sudan.
The French took Algeria, and then Tunisia; then just before the First World War the Italians took Libya.

According to Russia, Turkey never colonized they infiltrated like ants. Sad but true, and yet they were forced the Russians to ally themselves so they were later known as the Turk/Russian, from the times of the Ottoman Empire as well. Africa was long in existance before there was ever any place called Turkey so they may have migrated there as they did, but colonized? That is a real mind blower. Not really. They were a warring people and not civil. Blended with the other Arabs but did not get along. And they certainly were not Egypt. Persia was a great strength and Turkey took on some of its strength and were a breed apart but close enough, and had the stolen wealth after Alexanders death, Persia had plenty.

As the Ottoman Empire, Turkey held sway over large parts of the North Coast of Africa.

They controlled the eastern seaboard of the Mediterranean, Egypt, and the northern seaboard of Africa across the top of the present countries of Libya, Tunisia and Algeria.
