English term or phrase: ready when you are!
This is an idiom which we cannot split into smaller linguistic units. Examples are like this:-
“Can we leave now?” “[I'm] ready when you are.”
'Dinner's on the table! Ready when you are!'
'‘Shall we go?’ ‘[I'm] ready when you are!’
Could it be 'Sen hazırsan ben de hazırım' or 'Hazır olduğunda ben de hazırım' but they are too literal & not idiomatic, more Turkish English than colloquial Turkish.

This merits the four points I award. Not only is there an idiomatic translation but the extra 'valla ben hazırım' makes the translation perfect. Thank you!
