Russia has a history of testing airspace. they spent a lot of time probing the Canada's arctic airspace to test our response times and abilities. That went away for a while when the Soviet economy and military collapsed. But Putin has spearheaded a resurgence in military spending and Russia is doing a lot of probing of Canadian Airspace and our ocean borders.
It wouldn't surprise me if this incursion was intentional to see what Turkey's reaction was going to be, and how quick it was going to happen.
