Form the mixture into 1½ inch wide patties. Add the olive oil into a large frying pan and heat to medium high heat. Once hot, place some of the turkey patties into the pan and cook 4 minutes per side. Cook in batches until all of them are finished. Set aside.
2. Meanwhile, make tzatziki. In a small bowl, add Greek yogurt, and the remaining ingredients. Refrigerate until ready to use.
3. To make pitas, place 2 turkey patties into each pita pocket half. Add a slice of tomato, a few slices of red onion, some parsley, tzatziki and hummus. Enjoy!
