Hello,

The following are some basic reference sources on the subject:
Littman, Enno (1954): 'Türkisches Sprachgut im Ägyptischen-Arabischen',
Westöstliche Ahandlungen, Festschrift für Rudolf Tschudi, Wiesbaden, pp.
107-27.
Abd al-Rahim, F. (1969-70): 'al-Kalimaat al-turkiyya fi 'l-lahjaat
al-Arabiyya al-haditha', Majallat al-Majma' al-Ilmi al-Arabi, 44, pp.
875-882, 45, pp. 143-50, 371-375.
Prokosch, E. (1983): Osmanisches Wortgut im Ägyptischen-Arabischen,  
Berlin.
Vollers, Karl (1887-1896/7): 'Beiträge zur Kenntniss der lebenden  
arabischen
Sprache in Ägypten', Zeitschrift der Deutschen Morgenländische  
Gesellschaft,
44, pp. 365-402; 50, pp. 607-657; 51, pp. 291-326, 343-364. (contains a  
very
useful list of foreign borrowings - including Turkish - into Egyptian
Arabic)

At the same time, some useful information can also be gleaned from the
borrowing of Turkish words in other dialects:
Baccouche, Taïeb (1994): L'emprunt en arabe moderne, Tunis (Beït  
Al-Hikma).
(pp. 75ff.  et passim) (especially useful for the Tunis dialect)
Ben Cheneb, Mohamed (1922): Mots turcs et persans conservés dans le  
parler
algérien', Algiers/Paris.
Belguedj, Mohamed Salah (1971): 'Les mots turcs dans le parler  
algérien',
Turcica, 3, pp. 133-142.
Mahfuz, Husayn (1964): al-Alfaz al-Turkiyya fi 'l-lugha al-Iraqiyya,
Baghdad.
Butros, Albert (1973): 'Turkish, Italian and French loanwords in the
colloquial Arabic of Palestine and Jordan', Studies in Linguistics, 23,  
pp.
87-104.
Masliyah, Sadok (1996): 'Four Turkish suffixes in Iraqi
Arabic: -li, -lik, -siz and -çi', Journal of Semitic Studies, XLI/2, pp.
291-300.

Also see:
Kahane, Henry & Renée é Andreas Tietze (1958): The lingua franca in the
Levant. Turkish nautical terms of Italian and Greek origin', Urbana
(University of Illinois Press). (a vertible treasure trove of  
etymologies,
with numerous references to Arabic)
Stachowski, Stanislaw (1975-86): Studien über die arabischen Lehnwörter  
im
Osmanisch-Türkischen, Wroclaw, 4 vols.V

I hope this will be of use to you.

Kind regards,
Daniel Newman

Greetings. 
Re your query about Turkish loanwords and borrowed conventions in  
collquial Egyptian Arabic
 
One prominent feature commonly used in colloquial "al-3amiya" or  
"baladii" I is the suffix of "jii" or "chii" added to a noun to  
indicate a person who performs that referred function:
 
Examples include:
 
qawhajii/ qahwachi = one who brings and serves coffee
 
burmaji = one who can do anything (or, variously, can do many thaings  
at the same time = the equivalent term in "American English" is akin to  
"a wheeler dealer")
 
Some Turkish honorific terms are still in use, although usually  
intended for humor or sarcasm, such as "pasha, beh, effendim."
   
A term used by Egyptian military for Soviet military advisors in Egypt  
was "Ivan Pasha," as a reference to senior officers and their  
families who lived in villas of former British officials in the Zamalek  
quarter of Cairo durfn 1967-1972.
