I think you are confusing the Turks in general with the Ottoman Turks.
Other groups, especially the Seljuks, came much earlier; when the First
Crusade went through Anatolia, it was fighting Turks. I'm not sure if the
earliest Turkish incursions in Anatolia were as early as the Magyar
incursions, but they can't have been a lot later.
