Turkey being a nato country, would invoke article 5. Would love to see how the US would try to wiggle itself out of that one. Either they protect their ally, or nato completely falls apart.

Article 5 can only be invoked for an attack in Europe or North America. the Asian part of Turkey would not trigger it. this has also meant the conflicts involving the colonies of NATO subjects has not invoked it, like when India invaded Portuguese Goa.
Nah, there's also Article 6 which states that "the territory of Turkey" counts.

Oh, so Türkiye isn't in Europe now?
Only when it's convenient.
