They say all the bodies were found after the helicopter went down due to a "technical malfunction" in Qatar's territorial waters on Sunday.
Four Qatari military personnel, one Turkish serviceman and two technicians from a Turkish defence company were on board, Qatar and Turkey say.
The cause of the crash that happened during a training exercise is now being investigated.
Turkey has a military base in Qatar under a defence agreement signed between the two countries in 2014.
In a statement, Qatar's interior ministry said that all seven people on board had been found dead.
It expressed its "deepest condolences" to the victims' families.
Turkey's defence ministry said the Qatari military helicopter had been "carrying out a training exercise as part of the Qatar-Turkey Joint Forces Command".
The two technicians were from the Aselsan defence corporation, the ministry said, adding that the exact cause of the crash would be determined by Qatari authorities.
The crash comes as the US and Israel continue their wide-ranging strikes against Iran, while Tehran retaliates with its own attacks against Israel and US-allied states in the Gulf.
Iran reportedly fired two ballistic missiles at Indian Ocean base, but neither reached the target.
The treasury secretary says the move will quickly bring about 140m barrels of oil to global markets.
But more troops and warships are being sent to the region and the White House is seeking billions more in funding for the war.
The tiny island is home to one of the most critical pieces of Iran's energy infrastructure.
Much of the damage was caused in initial retaliatory strikes by Iran in the week after the US and Israel launched its operation.
