A major Turkish defeat in 1571 was the naval battle of Lepanto, which occurred of the coast of Greece, where the Holy League forces, under Don John of Austria, defeated the Ottoman forces under Ali Pasha. The Turks lost 3/4 of their entire naval forces, and 25,000+ men.
The Battle of Lepanto was a naval engagement which took place on 7 October 1571. The battle was between the fleet of the Holy League, arranged by Pope Pius V and the fleet of the Ottoman Empire on the northern edge of the Gulf of Corinth, off western Greece. The Holy League won, but was unable to convert that victory into an offensive against the Ottomans. However, the Holy League victory stopped the Ottoman advance into Central Europe by sea.
The Ottomans had nothing to do with it, purely an English Spanish affair. There had been some earlier conflicts between Spain and the Ottomans. This was brought to an end with the destruction of the Ottoman fleet at the Battle of Lepanto in 1571
