If you can get to IST for your return trip, I would search united.com for IST-WAS Saver space.

If you want to use your AA/BA miles, I would explore the cost of a cash flight on Germanwings or Pegasys ESB-TXL/DUS, and then redeem either AA miles or BA Avios for DUS/TXL-JFK/ORD/MIA-WAS.
You can get from Ankara to Istanbul via a paid positioning flight on Pegasus for under $50 (right now there are some for under $30 for that date - go straight to their website). You would have to transit from SAW to IST but I would imagine that you could do it fairly cheaply if you take a shuttle into the city and then the metro to IST. Other FTers can give you more precise information on that I suspect.
