Is it possible to turn on restrictions with Touch ID instead of locking out with another set of password?

Just make that password the same as your login password. You have to have a password anyways to use Touch ID, might as well make the passwords you do have the same.

Otherwise, no, no way to do what you're asking.

But then I still cannot use Touch ID to disable restrictions correct? Touch ID only works for App store and unlocking phone.

Dunno why I wasn't doing this before (had two different passwords), thanks for the idea :)
