Turki (Arabic: تركي) is a Tunisian village dependent on the Nabeul Governorate, and the delegation of Grombalia.

In 2004, it had a population of 3,661 inhabitants.

An exit from the A1 motorway is in the immediate vicinity.

It is located around forty kilometers south-east of Tunis and around twenty kilometers north-west of Nabeul. Grombalia, the chief town of the municipality and the delegation, is about two kilometers northwest of the city.

Turki lies on a plain named after its neighbor Grombalia, at the western end of the Cape Bon peninsula.

History

The village is discovered when Moriscos were expelled from Spain in the 17th century.
