You may have to answer a combination of questions in a certain way to have your form 1099-MISC income be treated as "other" income. It is recommended that you answer the questions posed in TurboTax accurately and truthfully, in order that your tax return be completed correctly.
The key issues surrounding treating income as "other" would involve whether the work is similar to your regular job and was performed in previous and will be performed in future years. If you answer no to those questions, I believe your income will be considered other income, as opposed to self-employment income.
