Turkey knows damn well that Russia is just bombing the fuck out of ISIS, and not to mention the reports seem to show off that it got shot down above SYRIAN ground, not Turkish. Surely Russia had a part in it as well, but I cannot feel but Turkey just trying to cause drama at this point.
Russia has repeatedly violated Turkish airspace. In this incident, the plane in question was warned 10 times in five minutes that they were violating Turkish airspace. Turkey has warned Russia before that it will use force to protect their airspace.
Also, Russia has been mostly bombing Assad's opponents, not Daesh. In fact, they haven't bombed Daesh at all, according to the BBC (this map is from September, mind you Edit: I found an even better map that shows both US air strikes and Russian air strikes - note where the majority of Russian airstrikes are, and where the majority of US air strikes are, and who controls what.):

Please note the areas actually being bombed, and the areas Daesh actually controls or is fighting over.
Here's a link to the story that had the map in it: http://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-34453739
