Speaking to members of his AK Party in parliament, Erdogan said Putin had said Europe can obtain its gas supply from the hub in Turkey.
This comes as Erdogan instructed the Turkish government to begin work on a gas centre in his country, proposed by Putin to export Russian gas to Europe.
"Together with Mr Putin, we have instructed our Ministry of Energy and Natural Resources and relevant institutions on the Russian side to cooperate," Erdogan told reporters last week.
The Turkish president confirmed that work would begin immediately.
Gas exports to Europe are being greatly affected by Western sanctions imposed on Moscow as a result of its war on Ukraine.
