I am thinking of flying into lisbon (portugal) and then just working my way across to turkey, in the order of portugal spain italy greece, then turkey, and than flying back home from there. Is the best way to do this by train? Should I buy a cheap used car and just drive my way across?

Train would be easier, and the rail system in most of europe is good (check the europass to see if it works for you). buying a car would probably be a red tape nightmare, since you'd have to conform to the regulations of five different governments. Also look at http://www.hostelworld.com/ to make low-cost reservations. Enjoy!

A cruise would be the easiest, because it would go to a lot of the Greek islands.

The only "jump" you have to do is between Spain and Italy, since they don't border and it'll took several hours by train (you have to go through France) and between Italy and Greece there's the sea; so, Portugal/Spain by train; Spain to Italy by flying is the fastest way, though train and ship are possible; from Southern Italy you could enjoy a ferry, while if you leave Italy for Greece by the Center or North, it's better a fly. Then Greece/Turkey by train.
