turquoise is /ˈtɝkwɔɪz/. noise and poise genuinely match its unstressed final syllable /kwɔɪz/ in the /ɔɪz/ ending, and turkey matches the stressed initial /tɝ/ (spelled tur). tortoise is a lookalike: its -toise is pronounced /təs/, not /tɔɪz/. quote shares the spelling quo but sounds /kwoʊt/, not /kwɔɪz/.
