She served as official regent of the Ottoman Empire, from 1651 to 1656 and as de facto ruler of the Empire for over three decades. Turhan was prominent for the regency of her young son and her building patronage.

As a result, Turhan became one of the prominent figures during the era known as Sultanate of Women.
