We systematically explore the structural and electronic properties of twisted trilayer graphene systems. In general, these systems are characterized by two twist angles, which lead to two incommensurate moir\'{e} periods. We show that lattice relaxation results in the formation of domains of periodic single-moir\'{e} structures only for twist angles close to the simplest fractions. For the majority of other twist angles, the incommensurate moir\'{e} periods lead to a quasicrystalline structure. We identify experimentally relevant magic angles at which the electronic density of states is sharply peaked and strongly correlated physics is most likely to be realized.
