You cannot extend a visa. Once a visa is expired, you have to leave Turkey. The only way you can extend your stay is to apply for a residence permit, but you would need to do that before your visa expired.

Since you have overstayed your visa, you will have to pay a fine when you depart Turkey. Because your overstay is more than ten days, you will also receive a re-entry ban. The re-entry ban will probably be for three months considering the amount you will have overstayed when you leave.
