Ummm..
the only way to make a violet with a Turquoise Cock is to have a Violet Hen. And from that pairing you also get Blue, Turquoise and Violet Turquoise.
Ok turqoise is dominant over blue soo.
Turq cock + Blue Hen = Blue and Turq babies
Dont put Turq with yellow or green
Turq cock + white Hen = Blue or Turq with the males split for albino
Turq cock + Blue lacewing = Blue or Turq with the males split for lacewing
Turq cock + Blue Cinnamon = Blue or Turq with the males split for cinnamon.
you see where this is going.. you can only really get splits for all the sex linked colours
So your best bet is to use a Turquoise, Albino, or Blue hen.

Another consideration might be :
Turquoise cock x Grey hen=
25% Turquoise
25% grey
25% Blue
25% turquoisegrey

I agree!A Grey lacewing is a good choice.
Any bird with grey to your turquoise is a good cross.
