According to the Frankfurt airport site, it seems that ORD-FRA lands in Terminal 1 at 10:15, and that my Turkish Airlines FRA-IST flight will be in Terminal 1B, leaving at 11:40.

How do I travel from one to the other most effectively? Do I have any immigration to worry about, given I'm going from Schengen to non-Schengen?
May I suggest you take a look at the first post in the following thread in the M&M forum

http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/miles...on-thread.html

and also this recent post which addresses a very similar situation as yours?

You will not be going from Schengen to non-Schengen but from non-Schengen to non-Schengen as you will not enter Germany. Do not go through passport control.
