Do you think there should be a Bosniak_Turkey category in GEDmatch? I think, its existence would be better.

Bosnians who live in Turkey has different origins, therefore an average of Bosniak_Turkey will not be useful for anyone. Regional Bosniak averages are decent enough.

I don't know if I am assimilated or not. 4 of my grandparents migrated to Turkey in 1950s and 1960s. Whenever I am asked, I tell that I am from Turkey/İstanbul. If I am asked where I am originally from, then I say I am Turkish with ancestry from Bosnia-Herzegovina.

No, except the NOrthwest corner there are no real bosniak village settlement. and most of them came in the 19th century, the later wave only settled in cities/districts like Pendik.
