I'm not sure if either nazar of molybdomancy is strictly tengriist, but similar things existed anyways so counting them.

I did a little research, can't guarantee all these are pre-islamic in case the sources are mistaken, but they're superstitions&culture we have regardless:
1- Red ribbons attached to wedding dress/kids to bring happiness/luck
2- Fancy musalla taşı in tombs
3- Animals in rug motifs
4- Mevlüt, an "islamic" funeral only turks do, using instruments banned in islam (esp. drums)
5- Praying towards sky, pointing the sky to refer to Allah (against what quran says)
6- Leaving house with right foot first. My mother cares a lot about this one sweat2
7- To send off people with pouring water
8- Tying cloth to trees for wishing stuff from its spirit
9- Knocking to wood to scare off bad spirits (that "tch tch" thing)
10- Gathering at 7, 21, and especially 40th (kırkı çıkmak for babies) days of someone's birth/death
11- That thumb-to-mouth gesture people do when they are startled, it's something about keeping our souls
12- Small water troughs in our graves for birds
