After the Alhambra Decree, which ordered the expulsion of Jews from the kingdoms of Castile and Aragon (most of today's Spain), the sultan Bayezid II saw an opportunity to invite the Jews to the Ottoman empire. A fleet led by Kemal Reis was sent to retreive them. They were mostly Sephardi, and they resettled in several cities around the empire, especially in Constantinople and Salonika. Until the Nazi invasion in 1943, they were a large part of the population of Salonika, and there is still a community of them in Istanbul today (about 20000).
I found this which may interest you, or this book.
edit: This book is not directly about this topic, but a search for Bayezid turns up some mentions. Some interesting things here too.

The most fortunate of the expelled Jews succeeded in escaping to Turkey. Sultan Bajazet welcomed them warmly. "How can you call Ferdinand of Aragon a wise king," he was fond of asking, "the same Ferdinand who impoverished his own land and enriched ours?"
