I don't know any Bulgarian so I don't want to edit the page but I stumbled across this in a Turkish text online here that might be a good reference:

On page 26 it says that:

1998 tarihinde yayımlanan Bulgarcadaki Yabancı Sözler Sözlüğünde 3548 söz, Türkçe olarak gösterilmiştir. Kısacası, Bulgarcada en az 3500 kadar sözün Türkçe olduğunu rahatlıkla söyleyebiliriz.

In the Dictionary of Foreign Words in Bulgarian published in 1998, 3548 words were shown to have come from Turkish. In short, one can say with ease that there are at least approximately 3500 Turkish words in Bulgarian.
