Turgut is portrayed by Turkish actor Cengiz Coşkun (in Diriliş Ertuğrul) and Rüzgar Aksoy (in Kuruluş Osman).

The character is based on one of the companions of Ertuğrul, the father of Osman I. Turgut was born as the son of Konur Alp, but was soon orphaned after his parents' deaths in unknown circumstances.

He was brought to the Kayı tribe and grew up as the adoptive son of Süleyman Şah and Hayme Hatun, and became blood brothers with Bamsı and Doğan.

The TRT 1 website states about his character; "A fearsome axe-wielding warrior, Turgut is one of the most skilled alps of the Kayi tribe.

Following the Kayı being forced to take refuge with the Dodurga due to a Mongol attack led by Baycu Noyan, a pregnant Aykız is killed much to Turgut's devastation.

After Yiğit is killed in Boğaç's ambush, Ertuğrul continues to lead a portion of his tribe to Western Anatolia, separating from his elder brother Gündoğdu.

After Ertuğrul beheads the dog Köpek, thereby avenging Aslıhan, and defeating the returned Noyan, the Kayı move to Söğüt.

In the fifth season, Osman, son of Ertuğrul, saves two girls and their father who were fleeing from the disgraced Byzantine commander, Dragos.

Meanwhile, Beybolat Bey, a Selçuk assassin working with the Mongols to wipe out rebelling Oğuz tribes, captures Ertuğrul in an ambush while almost killing Turgut by stabbing him .
