Instructions
- 1
Make the dressing: grate the cucumber on the large holes of a box grater, then gather it in a clean kitchen towel and squeeze firmly over the sink until most of the liquid is expelled. In a mixing bowl, whisk together the squeezed cucumber, yogurt, dill, apple cider vinegar, olive oil, garlic, and salt until smooth and combined. Taste and adjust salt. Refrigerate while you prepare the patties.

In a large bowl, combine the ground turkey with garlic powder, onion powder, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper. Mix gently with your hands until the seasonings are evenly distributed, then divide into 4 equal portions and press each into a patty about 3/4 inch thick.
