I want to learn about the Ottoman Empire between 1500-1700, what are some good resources I can use to help me learn?

For the general history of the Ottoman Empire, the standard textbook is Douglas Howard's A History of the Ottoman Empire (2017), so you should start there. Caroline Finkel's Osman's Dream (2005) is more detailed with regard to the broad narrative of sultans, wars, and imperial politics and should be your reference point if that's what you're interested in. Both are accurate, up-to-date, and written by experts, something which can't really be said about any other single-volume general history. Beyond that, I could offer recommendations for more specific topics if there's anything in particular that you're interested in.

If you're just dipping your toes into Ottoman history for the first time and don't mind listening as opposed to reading, I would recommend the lecture series The Ottoman Empire by Professor Kenneth W. Harl. I started listening to it through Audible and The Great Courses, and I've found it very engaging so far.
