The Socceroos open their campaign against the world No.22, who have qualified for their first World Cup since 2002, at Vancouver's BC Place on Saturday (Sunday AEST).
When asked about Australia, Calhanoglu was surprisingly blunt.
"Of course, our coach analysed them with us together," Inter Milan defender Calhanoglu told media at training in Vancouver on Friday.
"So we know that they're a physical team, that they're good at the corner kicks and on the free kicks because they are tall and strong.
"But I think that we dominate tomorrow, the game, because we have more qualities and a more talented team, so we will see tomorrow what happens."
His comments will surely raise the eyebrows of Socceroos coach Tony Popovic and midfielder Aiden O'Neill, who are due to face the media later on Friday afternoon.
The Socceroos have already been written off by many pundits from the United States.
Calhanoglu's teammate Ozak Kabak said Turkey didn't know much about Australia given they play in different confederations, but they had done their analysis.
"I think that we can beat them," Kabak said.
Socceroos defender Milos Degenek has previously pointed to Turkey's lack of World Cup experience - all 26 players are debutants - and the pressure they face as advantages for Australia.
The Socceroos are attempting to win their opening game for the first time since Kaiserslautern in 2006.
Friday marked 20 years since Tim Cahill's heroics steered Australia to a 3-1 comeback victory over Japan.
Veteran Aziz Behich experienced losses in opening matches against France in both 2018 and 2022 and is desperate for Australia to get off the mark quicker this time.
"We've got no limits. We've set no bars - the bar's got to be high," Behich told AAP.
"Obviously, what we did in the last campaign set the standard, but I think we have a squad now to surpass that. And why not?
"But you need to get off to a good start, that's for sure. And we have an opportunity to do that in Vancouver.
"So look, it's a game at a time, but definitely we're here to go deep in the competition ... us as a playing group, we've spoken about we want to be the first Aussie team, obviously, to win a knockout game as well."
Australia only need to look to co-hosts Mexico and Asian rivals South Korea, who won on the opening day, for motivation.
Both teams now have one foot in the knockouts with two games to go.
The US and Paraguay play on Friday (Saturday AEST) and get first shot at claiming the upper hand in Group D.
"It's important to start well because you've only got three games, and you want to put your best foot forward early and put other nations on the back foot," Behich said.
At Australia's training session on Friday night, all eyes will be on striker Mohamed Toure, who missed training on Wednesday, but according to Behich and teammate Jacob Italiano was back in action on Thursday.
