Many, many Greeks simply became Turks. First of all there was the boy-tribute system. Second, entire units of the Byzantine army simply joined the Ottomans in the 14th Century. Ohran's wife (or was it Beyezid's), IIRC, was the daughter of the Byzantine "emperor." By the 17th Century, the Sultan's had more Greek blood than Turkish blood.
Hell, the ruler of the Empire for a long time was Kosem Sultana, mother of Mehemd IV and Ibrahim. She was a full blood Greek. She ruled over her husband, was regent for Mehemd, and took over the empire for Ibrahim (he was totally insane). I should note this is about the point that the EMpire began to become more nasty.
Most of the major sities of the European part of the Empire were either founded by Turks or resettled by Turks after the Christians had fled. In most of the Balkans, Christians were forbidden from converting to Islam, because Moslems didn't pay taxes nor did they have to give up a son. Where they could, however, Christians converted in droves.
