Drain and rinse the chickpeas, then pat them very dry with a paper towel to ensure a crispy texture.
Place the chickpeas, ground turkey, parsley, cilantro, garlic, cumin, coriander, salt, and pepper into a food processor.
Pulse the mixture until well combined and a thick dough forms, being careful not to over-process it into a smooth paste.
Divide the mixture and shape it into 4 small, flat patties.
Heat the olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat.
Carefully place the patties in the skillet and fry for 4 to 5 minutes on each side until they are golden brown and the turkey is fully cooked.
While the falafel cooks, whisk together the Greek yogurt, tahini, lemon juice, and water in a small bowl until the sauce is creamy.
Serve the hot falafel patties immediately with the lemon-tahini sauce drizzled over the top.
