I have to admit that part of me wants to tell Turkey that if we can't use their territory we'll just attack from Kurdistan instead, but Turkey has been a good enough ally for long enough in an area where a couple real allies would be useful that we should probably just say, "okay, you forgo the billions of dollars; we look forward to working with you in the future". Turkey, remember, was one of the first countries in September of 2001 to say, "we don't need to see evidence of the provenance of the terrorist attacks; if it's good enough for the United States, it's good enough for us." This wins them some points in my book.
