Most of Turks are fair looking on average, however depending on the time frame our perception in Europe changed.

It all depends on which military caste was portrayed. Janissaries ofcourse looked white. Anatolian sipahi was portrayed more bronze and pirates where lastly portrayed similair. Keep in mind Anatolian Turks are at most bronze in skin.
