Germany made it nine wins out of nine in Euro 2012 qualifying with a victory in Turkey which jeopardises their opponents' hope of joining them in Poland and Ukraine next summer.
Mario Gomez and Thomas Muller put Joachim Low's side 2-0 up before Hakan Balta gave Turkey hope by pulling a goal back with 10 minutes remaining.
However, a Bastian Schweinsteiger penalty in the 86th minute sealed Germany's ninth victory in Group A and saw Turkey drop to third place behind Belgium, who beat Kazakhstan.
Turkey will now be supporting Germany when they host the Belgians in Dusseldorf on Tuesday night, needing Low's team to at least get a draw to leave them a chance of finishing second with a win over Azerbaijan.
