- F-15SE is a non-existent project that would cost billions to develop to a finished product and cost a shit ton to produce. There hasn't been any work done on it for over a decade and to finish it would costs dozens of billions. Nor would you get a green light from congress to aquire the project.
- EA-18G Growler is a EW Aircraft meant to be used together with F/A-18s to clear hostile Airspace. It is not meant for Air-Air combat nor Air-Surface combat. Nor does the US sell it to anyone, if Turkey won't get its F-35 neither will it get Growlers.
- Eurofighter has a low readiness rate, is primarly a Air to Air fighter, costs too much for what you get and Germany would block any sale to Turkey just like it is blocking sales to Saudi Arabia and the UAE at the moment.
- F16 Block 70 upgrade packages could be ordered from Lockheed and put together by TAI in Turkey.
Obvious choice here is if we can't get our F-35:
1. F-15EX/Advanced+F-16V Block 70 upgrade packages for part of the F-16 Fleet.
2. Only F-15EX
3. F/A-18 Block III + IF POSSIBLE (very unlikely) E/A-18G
4. F-16V Block 70 upgrade packages.
5. Rafael
6. Eurofighter/Gripen
I guess you work for the State Department? How do you know what is realistic is and what not? Please tell me.

Just to add, you forgot to add a Klingon Bird of Prey since this one is as realistic for the TAF as the F-15X or Super Hornet.
