I think I always attempt at saying it "Turkwoyz" but it sometimes comes out more like "Turkoyz". It's a word I say so infrequently that I don't really know.

Turkwoyz.

Posh people say "turkwahz".

It is actually taken from the French for "Turkish", so in truth the poshos are correct. sad yes

Sid James uses that pronunciation often in the Hancock radio episodes, usually in relation to some flashy tie or socks in Mediterranean Mauve.
