Where to buy the cheapest eSIM with data for Turkey (Istanbul)?

TL;DR
The easiest option is to buy an eSIM (or physical SIM if your phone has no eSIM) on Russian marketplaces like Ozon/Wildberries before the trip, install the eSIM before arriving in Turkey, and choose a 30GB plan since it's only about $3-4 more expensive than smaller packages.
What the community said
Marketplaces like Ozon or Wildberries sell many eSIM and physical SIM options with different data plans for Turkey. One traveler installed the eSIM following the instructions before departure — internet started working right on the plane upon landing.

It's recommended to get the 30GB plan right away — it costs only about $3-4 more than the smallest package but the data lasts much longer.

It's better to install the Turkey eSIM before arriving in the country, since the local network may restrict installation once you're there. The app includes setup instructions and an FAQ section for troubleshooting.
