Greek Tzatziki Turkey Burgers

This is fast and great alternative to the beef burger, and it won't keep you away from your guests too long!
(serves 4)

1/4 cup white vinegar
2 garlic cloves
2 cups plain Greek yogurt
1/2 large English or Persian* cucumber, peeled and halved lengthwise, seeded, cut in 1/4" pieces
1&1/2 T. chopped fresh dill
2&1/4 t. kosher salt, divided
1 t. freshly ground black pepper, divided
2 T. EVOO, divided
1/4 cup whole milk
Splash of  water
2 whole wheat bread sliced, crusts removed
4 whole-wheat or multi-grain English muffins, fork-split* and toasted
1 lb. ground turkey
1 T. fresh lemon juice
8 (1/4" thick) beefsteak tomato slices
8 thinly sliced red onion rings
1/2 cup packed arugula
3 T. chopped mixed fresh herbs (such as dill, parsley, and mint)

Process vinegar and garlic in a blender or food processor til smooth, about 1 min. Transfer to a bowl. Add yogurt; gently whisk until fully incorporated. Fold in cucumber, dill, 1 t. salt, and 1/4 t. pepper. Set aside. Line a small tray with parchment paper, and rub parchment with 1 T. oil. Combine milk and water in a large shallow bowl. Add bread slices, and press to submerge. Let stand 30 sec. Remove bread from milk mixture; discard liquid. Squeeze excess liquid from bread, and tear bread into small pieces. Combine torn bread and turkey in a med. bowl. Using your hands, gently mix just until combined. Do not overmix. Shape mixture into 4 patties about 1/2" thick. Place patties on prepared tray, and rub with remaining oil. Pop tray into fridge for 10 min. before grilling. It helps keep them cool so they don't stick or fall apart while cooking. Preheat grill to med. high, about 450. Sprinkle patties evenly with 1 t. salt and 1/2 t. pepper. Grill just until burgers are cooked through, 3-4 min. per side. Spread 1 T. of the cucumber mixture on each cut side of the English muffins. Top each bottom half with 1 patty. Top patties with lemon juice, tomato slices, red onion, arugula, mixed herbs, and remaining 1/4 t. each S&P. Cover with top halves of muffins. Reserve remaining cucumber yogurt mixture for another use such as a dip for crudités*.
