Place diced cucumber with a sprinkle of salt in a bowl and let sit for 10 minutes to release any extra moisture.
Meanwhile, mix together yogurt, lemon juice, dill, garlic, salt and pepper.
Drain cucumber, then add it in and stir to combine. Taste and add any additional salt or pepper if needed. Put in the fridge until ready to use.
In a large bowl, add ground turkey and minced garlic.
Grate 1/4 red onion into turkey.
Add egg, breadcrumbs, dill, oregano, salt, and pepper. Mix until just combined, I use my hands.
Form into 14 meatballs.
Heat sauce pan with olive oil over medium heat. Once hot, add meatballs and cook for 7-8 minutes, turning constantly to ensure even cooking on all sides.
Let meatballs cool down.
When ready to serve put rice, quinoa, or couscous down then top with meatballs, desired toppings, and tzatziki. Enjoy!
