If she applies for Indefinite Leave to Remain (PR), then it would change as a person holding indefinite leave to remain is not subject to immigration control.
Unclear from your post on behalf of another, what the persons exact UK immigration history is. If she came in 2011 on a spouse visa, she is under the old 2 year route, which means she could have applied for indefinite leave to remain in 2013, provided she didn't change visa category.
British citizenship is only possible AFTER a person has indefinite leave to remain. British citizenship is also costs less than the indefinite leave to remain or spouse visa application.
If she for whatever reason, does not yet hold indefinite leave to remain after 9 years in the UK (which is unusual), then she has to write to HO and request to remove the public funds restriction, usually with evidence of exceptional compassionate type reasons, i.e. single mother to British child who is going to be destitute, for example.
Note that Turkish citizens can apply for certain benefits.
