Step 1: Initial Focuses
Start as Turkey in HOI4 and complete the initial focuses until you reach the first election focus. These focuses typically involve building up your industry, infrastructure, and military. Its also important to note that the election focus is locked until you have formed the Demokrat Parti.
Step 2: Support the Opposition
To achieve the desired outcome, always support the opposition during the events and decisions that arise during the focus tree. Choose options that grant the most democratic support gain.
Step 3: Elect the Demokrat Parti
In order to get the intended results, elect the Demokrat Parti during the elections. This decision is crucial for the further events in the focus tree.
Step 4: Purge the Officers
Proceed to complete the focus "Purge the Officers." This focus will trigger a civil war, allowing the officers to come back in a decision that (should) happen when the civil war starts, occasionally it does happen later than intended and are bugs, I recommend to reload the save of the civil war if it doesnt fire immediately on the first few days of the civil war.
Step 5: Civil War and the Final Focus
Its pretty easy to win the civil war, just constantly out-maneuver the rebels and take Istanbul and other victory points.
Step 6: Reform the Ottoman Empire
Upon reaching the "Pivot to the Past" focus, you should have the necessary conditions to reform the Ottoman Empire. Completing this focus in its entirety will fire an event and return the Ottoman Empire for good, or however long until Germany or the USSR comes knocking.

@Cuto2589 You need to complete the "Purge the Officers" focus for the civil war.
