Yes, via segwit script versioning.
But it is provably useless to have turing complete script: https://www.reddit.com/r/Bitcoin/comments/666ihb/posts_theorem_and_blockchain_languages_why_turing/

If Brainfuck is Turing complete, then unused Bitcoin op codes can become Turing complete.
I deal with Bitcoin Script and its opportunities.
Can stack-based language Bitcoin Script be transformed in a turing complete language by doing a hard fork in principle?
No. (Without hardfork)Can stack-based language Bitcoin Script be transformed in a turing complete language by doing a hard fork in principle?
But everything can be implemented by next segwit script versions (today we use segwit_v0) if community votes for it
The right question is: why do you need turing complete language and scripts in bitcoin?
Does segwit now allow to add a different script language? So i think the answer should be yes.
The current segwit (v0) does not allow anything except old bitcoin opcodes I deal with Bitcoin Script and its opportunities.

You can change any aspect of Bitcoin by doing a hard fork. So you could also introduce a scripting language that is more powerful than the current Bitcoin script.

i think Bitcoin script has no facilities for looping or recursion,different with Ethereum script,are Turing-complete, at least in principle, supporting looping constructs. Can stack-based language Bitcoin Script be transformed in a turing complete language by doing a hard fork in principle?
Doesn't this link up with upcoming MAST support?
