The difference is "teşekkür" sounds more official and generally used for official thanks. Commonly, Sağ ol/sağ olun fits to daily speech.
thx

But if someone offers you something and you want to refuse you say teşekkürler meaning no, thanks.

Even more formal is teşekkür ederim. = Thank you.
Teşekkürler is more like "thanks."
You will also hear mersi used.

"ay, çok mersi" is the most popular version.
"çok mersi" is popular enough.
"mersi" is the classy version

mersi never fits turkish pronunciation. it sounds very disturbing. i never liked this word.
sağ ol/sağ olun is best

Well, like it or not, it is used. I didn´t say it was nice, just it is used!
By the way, tdk doesn´t recognise it, so you are right, it isn´t in Turkish for a purist!

Yes it is used. I also hear "Thank you" being used by some wannabes. Can we consider "Thank you" part of Turkish? The difference is that "Merci" was used by wannabes more than hundered years ago (during Ottoman times using one or two French words in daily speech to show off was popular just like using English ones today).
