The news might give a clue to the reason...
Not sure "screwed" is the word, so much as Uncle Sam looking after his less clued up nephews and neices.

Only that I got two crews stuck there, not to mention the owners...

Because the ban is for any flight into or out of Turkey. Not just to the US, that is directed to the Airlines and applicable to every aircraft.

My reading is that a flight TO USofA direct is NOT possible, however, DoD will not keep US citizen stranded in Turkey, or anywhere else. It has always been allowed to get all US assets out . It does not seem to concern FAR 91 ops..Is there any US airline operating a schedule to IST ?

the wording is one thing, and there is an exception, if the operator is an air carrier. This was written for 121, not 91.
The only reasoning behind would be that there is intelligence about a (some) turkish airmen holding an FAA license and posing a threat...

You're reading into it--there is no mention of Part 91 or 121, just that a FAA-certificates cannot fly into those FIRs unless he is working for foreign carrier. The wording is identical to the SFARs restricting ops in Libya, Iraq and Ukraine. The exception is ONLY way a US licensed pilot can legally operate in Turkey, that is flying a US registered plane for a foreign operator. And, yes, I've asked the NY International Office earlier regarding those SFARs.

I am just saying, that i understand fully the wording, and its consequences. But the scope in which it was written contains mistakes, and the blanket coverage of things forgot, N reg aircraft part 91 flying in europe. As such, an exemption should be granted to take them out from there.

Oh good grief. Fly the aircraft out to anywhere in Europe!!! No one can prevent it and to strand an owner in Turkey that doesn't want to be there? If you allow this, then the owners need new management!
If the pilots don't want to do it because they also think this notam stops them, then call me.
Put them on an airline and call me. They can pick it up again in London and fly home.
