For Turkish speakers, Gagauz and Azerbaijani Turkish are %90 mutually intelligible. Crimean Tatar is less but still mostly intelligable, same goes for Nogai Tatar. I haven't heard Karachay-Balkar before or I don't remember it well if I ever heard but it must be around in the same level. Kazakh, Kyrgyz, Yakut, Tuvan and etc. are the least intelligible ones. Uzbek and Turkmen are better but I wouldn't call them "mutually intelligible".

It is change accorting to your native language's sub-family. If you are Turkish, your language is West Oghuz language and you can understand easly other West Oghuz langugaes approximately 90%. Other West Oghuz languages are Azerbaijan Turkish and Gagauz Turkish. Also you can understand East Oghuz (Turkmen) and South Oghuz (Qashqai) approximately 50%.

But you can't understand other sub-families, maybe some sentences... For example Kazakh, Kyrgyz, Tatar, Nogai are Kipchak sub-family, Uzbek, Uyhgur are Karluk sub-family, Altai, Tuva, Khakass are South Siberia sub-family, Yakut, Dolgan are North Siberia sub-family etc. A Turkish person can't understand all of this languages.

We can give similar example from Indo-European family. For example an Italian person's native language (Italian) belong to Latin/Romance sub-family. An Italian person can understand Portuguese, Spanish, Catalan etc. but he/she can't understand Cerman sub-family (for example Norwegian, Swedish etc.) and he/she can't understand Iranic sub-family (Persian, Kurdish etc.), Indic sub-family (Indian, Urdu etc.), Slavic sub-family (Russian, Polish etc.)
