Turkish Tzatziki/Cacik! SUPER easy to make, delicious, and good for us! (turkey, chicken)

[KathrynAragon]

Oh my gosh, this is good. And you can eat it with salad, with pita bread, or pita chips, or crackers, or with any sort of meat - it's very versatile. And it tastes so fresh! I often make my own yogurt, so I'm sure that would be good too, but this time I used store bought Greek yogurt. I used mint leaves from our garden which I had dried, but fresh mint would be good too. I didn't have fresh dill, so I used dried dill.

I'm going to eat this with some rotisserie chicken, some lettuce, and some home grown tomatoes!

When I first saw the title, I thought it read "Turkey Tzatziki"!!!! Ugh.

I'm anxious to try tzatziki with mint as you (and others) suggested in prior posts. But I'm confused about how this recipe is different from 'regular ' tzatziki. Is it just that it used thicker yogurt and cubes of cucumber (instead of shredded) so that it stays thick?

I like the addition of the sumac. I will be adding that next time I make any version of this!

I think so. Yes, this one is finely diced cucumber instead of shredded and it's definitely thick.

I just want to say that I had this for lunch with pieces of rotisserie chicken and some fresh sliced tomatoes and it was absolutely fabulous.
