Mr.Knowitall is correct -- The last mvt to the A Major Sonata K.331 is scalled "Rondo alla Turca" There are orchestral versions out there, but Mozart himself never orchestrated it.
I am sure the Turkish March section of the 9th symphony is not what you're thinking of, but it is in a similar vein, as is the piece from the "Ruins of Athens". Very nice reference,
Please note, Mr redeemer, the word "Rondo", and the use of a Koechel number to help identify this piece that it IS a part of - not its own piece. A little research is a wonderful thing -- some of us here feel we should earn our two points.

Maybe you are thinking of the Turkish Rondo. It's part of Mozarts 11th piano sonata in A Major. (It is for solo piano, not orchestra).
There is also a 'Turkish March' from Beethoven's 'The Ruins of Athens'. This was from some 'incidental music' Beethoven wrote for a play by that name written by August Von Kotzebue.

What symphony? That Turkish March is it's own piece. Mozart didn't take it from anywhere.

It's not by Mozart... it's by Beethoven.
Symphony No. 9 D Minor
