No. Turk are from Turkey. Whereas Mongols are from Mongolia. They have very different appearances from one another. Turks are darker than Mongols. Mongols have asian-type eyes. Turks are more hairy.

The previous answer is partially false. Both the Turks and the Mongolians originated from Inner/Central Eurasia (the steppes) as horse-riding pastoralists. They sweeped throughout Asia in the 10th, 11th, 12th, 13th, and 14th centuries (Seljuk Turks, Ottoman Turks, Mongols under Chingis Khan, for example). Their languages have a few similarities as well, in addition to their cultures originally being very similar. Now, however, the traditional notion of Turkey is different from that of Mongolia, but there are similarities between Turkic and Mongolian areas, such as with Turkmenistan and Mongolia.

To summarize. Turks are not Mongols, they share some historical and cultural values. Due to intermarriages and living together for centuries, their languages have also influenced eachother's. No Turks are not darker, only 'some' of them are but, a significant part of them are lighter in skin colour than Mongols. This is because Turks share both Caucasid and Mongoloid features and the appearances might change depending on the individual you pick.
