- Original Turks are northern Mongoloids like Yakuts, Kazakhs, Kyrgyz, etc. The original ancestors of Turkic people (ancient Xiongnu) were about 89% Mongoloid and 11% Caucasian.
- Uzbeks, Uyghurs, and Turkmen are mixed people who are part Altaic and part Persian. They are like the "Mexicans of Central Asia".
- Turkish people are just Semites who speak a Turkic language. It's like how the non-mixed Amerinds in Bolivia speak Spanish.

I am turk myself and I can say that we are all pretty much mixed race. Some of us belong to caucasians some belong to mongoloid and some belong to arabs because and some maybe european. So I don't really know what exactly we are :D
Turks are not Caucasian... Some of them migrated there from Georgia but they are not Caucasian. Original, oldest and real Caucasians in Caucasus are only Georgians and Chechens. No one more!

Mongoloid technically speaking. That region has seen countless population changes and is therefore not homogenous to one or the other race.
Mostly Caucasian.
