Africa dwarfs Turkey: about 30,370,000 km² km² against 779,797 km² km². At true size Africa is about 38.9× larger — the whole of Turkey fits into Africa roughly 38 times.
The old Mercator map treated both about equally (1× vs 1.7× inflation), so at least their relative sizes were preserved — even if both were drawn at the wrong absolute scale.
Turkey fits 38× into Africa.
