There was nothing called Turkic then you moron. And not for another 1000 years till epochal nomadic tribal migrations to Anatolia.
They were Chinese with Iranic linkages. Zoroastrian definitely.
"
Harold Walter Bailey proposed an
Iranian origin of the Xiongnu, recognizing all the earliest Xiongnu names of the 2nd century BC as being of the
Iranian type.
[9] This theory is supported by
turkologist Henryk Jankowski.
[10] Central Asian scholar
Christopher I. Beckwith notes that the Xiongnu name could be a cognate of
Scythian,
Saka and
Sogdia, corresponding to a name for
Northern Iranians.
[25][69] According to Beckwith the Xiongnu could have contained a leading Iranian component when they started out, but more likely they had earlier been subjects of an Iranian people and learned from them the Iranian nomadic model.

In the 1994
UNESCO-published
History of Civilizations of Central Asia, its editor
János Harmatta claims that:
[8]
The royal tribes and kings of the [Xiongnu] bore Iranian names, that all Xiongnu words noted by the Chinese can be explained from a
Scythian language, and that it is therefore clear that the majority of [Xiongnu] tribes spoke an Eastern Iranian language."
