Ottoman empire was ruled by monarchs. Only one family ruled the Ottoman Empire and was the longest-ruling dynasty in history. It was a kind of absolute monarchy, not a democracy. During the Tanzimat Reforms, which occurred in the latter Ottoman Period (after 1839), Ottomans were trying make reforms for democracy. Since 1923, Ottomans lost their rule and Turkish Republic was founded.

As a general note, if something has the term "Empire" after its name, its usually not a democracy.
