TK webpage with details on seat reservation.
Seats on Turkish Airlines can be reserved in the following ways:
1. For long-haul international flights, seat selection is available starting 100 days before departure for economy and 355 days for business class. Seats can be selected through the call center, the "Manage Booking" section on the website or the “My Flights” section on the mobile app.
2. Extra legroom seats in economy are charged for and can be reserved 355 days in advance.
3. If you have booked your flight within the 100 days window (355 for business class) you can select seats online during the booking process.
4. If you have not pre-booked seats you can do so during the online check in process.
5. For domestic economy flights that are not part of a longhaul itinerary, TK flights are open for seat reservations 24 hours before departure.

my Aeroplan-booked TK flights opened up
I entered Name + TK PNR
Took me to another page to enter Last Name + Ticket #
After that I can choose the seats (still not too smooth, can't just hit Next and Next to choose 2 segments in 1 step)
Did it twice for 1 PNR + 3-pax PNR

I have C award seats through UA. (SCQ-IST, IST-LAX)
Called the 1-800 874 8875 number to get Turkish "Resevation Code" so you can bring up res on Turkish on-line site.
Needed e-ticket number for confirmation.
As everyone has reported above, no way to select seats on-line.
I am 101 days out so will try tomorrow to select seats.
One concern is the small Business cabin: 4 rows of 2-3-2.
There are two of us.
I do not want to get stuck in the 3 row middle seats for this long haul.
What a crappy seat configuration for Business.
Got stuck in the 3 row middle on Lufthansa SEA to FRA in June. Did end up on Aisle...but....

Seat recommendation in J on 777 (LAX/SFO-IST)
I'm going to be flying from SFO-IST and IST-LAX in the next couple weeks in J and was wondering if anyone has any recommendations for seats. I'll be traveling alone. I don't know if these routes have the updated 777s. Do the updated 777s have Comfort Class or no?

My flight BRU - IST is within 24 hours, I have a connection IST - NRT.
When I try to check in online I can only check in for BRU-IST and not yet for the connecting flight IST-nrt.
Is this normal or do I also need to wait until IST-NRT is within the 24h frame?
Thanks!

Yes, the connecting flights often only open up for checkin lazily - latest 24hrs before the respective flight departure.

I am doing SFO-IST on an X ticket, Economy. I just chose seats 51 AB, as its 2 seats w/ no middle for me and my S/O. Are these seats any narrower than the regular seats? Can anyone find a picture online of them?
Calling in was fast and easy getting them assigned from the agent, no waiting on hold or anything. At first I was going to go into the Mini Cabin, but I dont want a middle seat if it can be avoided....
I am still hoping to change to 24 A/C at the airport.

Anyway 24B is in the main cabin if it's the refurbished 777 - frankly the seats are pretty much the same IMO.

I just booked a TK flight with Aeroplan and the reference # I got doesn't work on TK website (I guess Aeroplan gives you something that works for them (them being Air Canada). Do you guys know if there's a way to access the booking and eventually select seats ? I'm flying on 17th june.

Guys, Need some help. I am doing ISB-IST-IAH and wanted to get a decent seat. I called them and they assigned me 16F for ISB-IST and said it was an aisle seat and the plan is a A330-243. I have checked and re-checked the seating plane for this aircraft and I dont know if 16F is an aisle seat. Everywhere I look indicates that its a middle seat. The agent on the phone said that 16F is the first row in economy and does not have a seat G. Can anyone confirm that? I would hate to get stuck in the middle!
