That sounds like a very big and complicated undertaking, both politically and militarily.
Turkey has NATO's second-largest army, for one thing.

Perhaps it's more important to have Turkey in NATO than Sweden and Finland, but I honestly don't know. I hear Finland has a strong army and it's useful to have all of the Baltic Sea countries in NATO.

Turkey's location is incredibly important strategically. They control access to the Black Sea.
