It is my understanding that December/January generally is considered a good time to transit from the Canaries to the Windward Isles via the trade-wind route, after the threat of hurricane development is over. But this would mean leaving Turkey well before January.

You need to study some resources such as the Atlas of Pilot Charts for the North Atlantic and a guide like Jimmy Cornell's World Cruising Routes,Ocean Passages and Landfalls by Rod Heikell and Andy O’Grady, or The Atlantic Crossing Guide by by Anne Hammick and Gavin McLaren revised by John Lawson.

Good Luck
