The 58-year-old was purportedly saved from a hotel that had collapsed. The province of Kahramanmaraş was hit hard by the earthquakes.
The quake was the strongest, which registered a magnitude -7.7 of and struck at 0117 GMT on Monday.
Another powerful quake, only slightly weaker at 7.5, hit around noon the same day.
Thousands died in Turkey and in neighboring Syria.
Some of the injured were being taken to the metropolis of Istanbul for treatment via Atatürk Airport, which has been closed for civil air traffic, the broadcaster reported.
