You can't use a return, if you don't take the outbound flight. If you don't show up for any leg of an itinerary, the airline will cancel all remaining flights.
In your case: Not taking the return with Lufthansa is fine.
However, if you don't fly with Turkish on Aug 22, Turkish will cancel your ticket and you can't fly on Sep 10th.
