Are there a group of turkish people that look 'east asian'?

If so, do they have a particular name? I tried googling around but I think my search terms are fail.

I think you are referring to Uyghur minority in certain parts of China; they are of Turkish descent. They have their own language, distinct from the two cultures, and they practice Islam.

You can think about ethnicity as a gradient flowing across east Asia to central\south Asia, the closer you get to one the more people will physically resemble the dominant cultural group of that region.

Yeah, look at pictures of people in Turkic countries from west to east (Turkey, Turkmenistan, Uzbekistan, Kyrgyzstan, China (Uyghurs); I would say Mongolia is a reasonable part of the list as well since their language is closely related to the Turkic ones) and you'll see them gradually look more east Asian.
