10 min to T5 gate
55 min left before flight
= 105 min total
From my experiences I think this is a good estimate of time for each step. TSA can be faster with precheck (TK does participate, supposedly). Personally I would not get to the gate a full 55 minutes before the flight, but that is my preference.
If on the evening ORD-IST flight, the SK lounge (serviceable, not great) can be used to soak up any extra 'safety' time (opens 1230).

Precheck is open at T5, has been open for many months.
