I wanted to give you my thanks, as I used this to help my friend out and today had to use it for my own project. I've had it bookmarked for quite some time now and was an excellent discovery. Thank you so much!

bullet_id = instance_create(x, y, obj_bullet);
bullet_id.direction = image_angle;
bullet_id.speed = 10;

If your turret is facing up (you want to shhot up) then you add + 90 this will go 90 degrees counter clockwise e.g

bullet_id = instance_create(x, y, obj_bullet);
bullet_id.direction = image_angle + 90;
bullet_id.speed = 10;

and if yours is facing down then add - 90

and if yours is facing left then add +180
