"televizyon türkçesi" is a phrase that is used for wrong usage of turkish, and bad translation of english on tv shows and tv series.
"kendine iyi bak" is a classical sample for bad translation. Almost all native turkish speakers learnt this phrase from american tv series. Today it is used by everyone in Türkiye.
Nowadays, "ohaa felan oldum" is very popular. This is just killing the language. Althought it doesn't have any meaning at all, this phrase is used instead of "çok şaşırdım".
Of course using tv turkish on a formal speech is not wellcomed, but tv is changing turkish day by day.

How should someone say take care in "proper Turkish" then?

When I was living in Turkey about 17 years ago, we used to say " Sağlıcakla kal" but I remember using "kendine iyi bak" as well and I never noticed this was "TV Turkish"??

I remember someone telling that the correct usage of "kendine iyi bak" should be "kendine dikkat et", but anyway, nearly all of the people use "kendine iyi bak"

Where is Thomas? This is exactly what I was telling him. We didn't have something as "kendine iyi bak" in the past but Turks who speak English made this up being inspired from the term "take care". So this is purely English effect over Turkish.
