www.seslisozluk.com

this must provide that option if you type the english meaning there and but you should sign up for membership which is free

a pronounced as the a in star
c pronounced as the j in jug
g pronounced as the g in gate
ğ silent!!
ı pronounced as the i in cousin
i pronounced as the i in bin
j pronounced as the j in jadore
o pronounced as the o in pot
ö pronounced as the ir in bird
ş pronounced as the sh in shirt
u pronounced as the u in pull
ü pronounced as the ew in jew
v between an english w and v

i think this is all of them, sorry if i have missed one or two out.
also note that all turkish vowels are pronounced very shortly. try to do this whilst speaking and you may fool native speakers into thinking that you too are a native speaker! this is what gave it away for me in the summer, luckily i have now passed that stage and have an OK accent hehe
