This is a good question, because there seems to be some similarities between the two languages. Both have SOV sentence order, both are agglutinative languages, and both use postpositions instead of prepositions. Unfortunately, there is no consensus among linguists about the answer to this question.
Some linguists classify both Japanese and Turkish Languages in a family of languages called the Altaic (or Ural-Altaic) languages and believe that they share a common ancestor. But other linguists do not agree with this theory and do know think that these two languages are related very much.

No, or yes. Depending on who you ask.
There has been a proposed language family called Altaic that, again, depending on the source, may or may not include both the Turkic languages and Japanese (as well as Mongolian, Korean and others). Altaicists propose a number of similarities including word order (SOV), the use of suffixes/post-positioned particles to indicate grammatical relationships, and a degree of vowel harmony (heavily used in Turkic and Mongolic languages, in the process of being lost in Korean, and controversially proposed for Old Japonic and not present in modern Japanese). There have also been a number of proposed phonological correspondences,

Korean, Japanese, Mongol, Turkish
They have close relationship in language structure.
