I don't think that you can compare Turkish to Air India and Egypt Air. Granted, I have never flown the latter two, so I base this on reputation. Nearly everyone on this board reports the same horrid experiences with AI and MS.
TK, however, is certainly in the same class as the average *A carrier. It's probably better than JK or LO and no worse than LX or OS. It's hard to compare to a U.S. airline, but their mid-haul flights are in the same class as, say, UA. This has been discussed extensively on this board.
