However, I do not have Miles and Smiles Status. Turkish's baggage calculator states that Miles and Smiles members get +1 bag but do not suggest that is the case for none-Turkish Star elites. Does anyone know if I can get 3 bags luggage allowance on Turkish?
Thanks
All Star Alliance airlines recognize one another's Gold cards. Turkish Airlines are no exception.
Find the relevant info on their site:

(scroll down to "Baggage Conditions")
Star Alliance Gold Card holders have the right to carry +1 extra baggage in the Piece System and +20kg in the Weight System in addition to their checked baggage rights on their tickets.
