Turkey should like the Kurds getting their own place because they can all return home and out of Turkey and Iran.

You should look at the wiki entry for Kurdistan to see why that wouldn't work. There is no "returning" to Kurdistan, since the majority of it is located in present-day Turkey. The Kurds have existed in that region for at least 5000 years (they're not Arab or Persian), so they're not going to leave willingly.

Turkey's fear is that the Turkish Kurds, upon seeing the southern third of Kurdistan freed, will revolt to unify the Kurdish nation. Given the long running Kurdish rebellion in Turkey, it's not a misplaced fear.

Give the Kurds their own country and we’ll take their side over the Turks since Turkey didn’t want to help with Iraq. Draw the boundaries and that will be the locations we protect but if the Kurds choose to stay in Turkey or Iran then those Kurds are on their own.
As for the oil they can sell it to whomever they choose but it will be up to that country to make logistical transportation. Oil from the middle-east is not ours but the more on the market, regardless where it goes to, helps the overall supply.

I'm not seeing the downside here. Turkey wouldn't help when we needed them as a staging ground for eliminating Saddam.

This is a fitting acknowledgment of that aid...
