Contact a family law solicitor.

If the marriage is recognised as a legal marriage in Turkey, where it took place, and was not "just" a religious ceremony, then the UK also considers you married, under the terms of the UK's Foreign Marriages Act 1892.

So it is not a question of registering the marriage in the UK, indeed there is no procedure for you to do so.

You really do need to consult a Family Law Solicitor, and preferably one who is conversant with both the law in the UK and in Turkey.
