TL;DR
Based on recent traveler advice, you should leave Turkey using the same passport you used to enter. If you're continuing to the Schengen area, you can present a different passport on arrival there.
In response to a question about a nearly 4-month overstay and re-entering Turkey, other travelers noted that even if border control 'didn't notice' the overstay on exit, it's still logged in the system, so there's a risk of being denied entry later. Using a different passport (second nationality) may improve the odds of smooth re-entry, but it's not a guaranteed workaround since name and photo are still on file and can be cross-checked by officers.
The clearest practical rule shared was to leave Turkey with the same passport you used to enter, so Turkish border control can match your entry record.
If Turkey is just a transit point before Schengen, you can switch passports at the next border: use your Turkey entry passport when leaving Turkey, then show a different one when entering the Schengen country.
One traveler asked specifically about entering Turkey on an Israeli passport, but this set of messages did not include any confirmed reports of special problems or negative treatment. The only actionable tip here is still to keep your entry and exit passport consistent in Turkey.
