No, the Ottoman empire was long after the Roman empire. After the Roman empire, the byzantine empire followed. The Ottoman Turks did, however, take over the Byzantine captial of Constanope renaming it Istanbul.
The Roman Empire came first.
The only similarity was geographic. Both empires were centred abound the Mediterranean. In fact, the Ottoman possessions around the Mediterranean covered areas which has been previously part of the Roman Empire. The main geographical differences were that 1) the Roman Empire also covered northern Morocco, the Mediterranean shores in western Europe (Spain, France, Italy and Malta), Slovenia and Croatia, which the Ottomans did not conquer; 2) the Ottoman Empire included areas of the Middle East (Persia, Iraq, the Persian Gulf coast down to close to the peninsula of Qatar, the Arab and Yemeni coasts on the Red Sea) and eastern Sudan, Eritrea, and a small part of the coast north-eastern Somalia, which the Romans did not conquer.
The Ottoman Empire did not directly end the Roman Empire, as the Western Roman Empire had already fallen in 476 AD, long before the rise of the Ottomans. The Eastern Roman Empire, or Byzantine Empire, continued until the Ottomans captured Constantinople in 1453. This conquest marked the end of the Byzantine Empire and solidified the Ottoman Empire's dominance in the region. Thus, while the Ottomans played a significant role in the fall of the Byzantine Empire, they did not end the Roman Empire in its entirety.

The Byzantine Empire, also known as the Eastern Roman Empire
The Western Empire finally succumbed to Germanic tribes between 470-490 A.D., and the Eastern (Byzantine) Empire was destroyed when the Ottoman Turks captured Constantinople in 1453 A.D.
There was no successor in the west besides a thing called the Holy Roman Empire which had nothing to do with ancient Rome. In the east it was the Ottoman empire.
The Ottoman Empire
In 1453, the Ottoman Empire invaded and took over Constantinople, changing the name to Istanbul, among other things. Istanbul became the third capital city of the Ottoman Empire, and became an Islamic city, rather than a Roman one.
You do not specify which eastern empire you are referring to. If you mean the Byzantine Empire, which is a term used by historians to refer to the eastern part of the Roman Empire after the fall of its western part, it fell in 1453, when the Ottoman Turks captured its capital, Constantinople.
