This is not the business class lounge though? Thought it was the IGA lounge started to serve some hot food?
This is the Miles&Smiles Lounge that TK operates. ( Morning -> Cheese panini ( Pre-COVID Domestic Y meal ), Rest of Day -> Pide and Köfte )
The iGA Lounge has always served hot food after the pandemic.

You could view the seat map after entering passenger details when booking through the TK website or you could use paid applications like Expertflyer to pop up the seat map.
Plus, I would like to warn you that do not prefer booking a TK ticket through Expedia, Travelocity, or any OTA as in case of IRROPS, you might get a really bad service from them, especially on TK tickets. It's always beneficial to book directly from the airline.
