Does buffing grant you Turret assists?
Yes we all know that Attacking a turret will grant you extra gold when it dies.
Now my question is a bit weird: What happens if you don't deal any direct damage to a turret but you buff an allied Champion or minion that finishes off a turret? Does that count as a turret assist? I know that if you shield a turret as Janna and it finishes off a champion, you will get the kill even if you haven't dealt any direct damage to the killed champion. Is it the same for other buffs on other targets?
For a more vivid description: 3 Scenarios with Soraka (I don't like her she just has some nice buffs)
- I'm At my base and I need 50 gold. Now waiting isn't really effective but luckily Ashe is about to destroy the enemy bottom turret so I use my ult.
- Me and Ashe are mid and we're about to kill the turret. The enemy Syndra approaches and Ashe drops really low. I accidentally heal the Cannon minion that attacks the turret instead of Ashe but at least the turret goes down. (I didn't throw a banana at the turret)
- Ashe Ragequitted because I heal minions and use my ult randomly. I'm alone at the bottom turret but I don't want to go too far in So I just heal a random caster minion that is attacking the turret and then I leave. The turret dies within 10 seconds.
Now in which of the 3 above cases would I actually gain bonus gold?

(Not sure if I understood correctly your question...)
Assists doesn't work with turrets.
When you destroy the turret and watch the right side of your HUD, it will display who did the last hit, but not who helped. However, money reward after destroying the turret is distributed to everyone in your team, and therefore, it is irrelevant to know who helped.
Now, if you do have special companion summoned by your champion, such as Yorick's ghost (when dead), Mordekaiser's ghost, Tibbers, Malzahar's creature, Heimerdinger's turrets, etc. it will count as you destroyed the turret.

How much HP do turrets have lol?
Turrets start with five plates, each with 1000 health, meaning that they start with 5000 health.How much gold does a turret give?
While these tower plates make it more difficult to destroy a tower and get that awesome first turret gold, they do give a reward. Each one destroyed (each plate represents 1/5 of the outer tower's 5,000 health) grants 160 gold, to be divided among all nearby enemy champions.How much damage do turrets do lol?

Answer 2
I'm pretty sure that the "assist gold" for turrets is based purely on distance from the tower when it goes down. Source: Jatt and Deman during LCS saying something along the lines of "Stop moving away from the dying towers! You're missing out on the local gold!" As for what counts to give you the turret assist, I'm not sure.
