Method

Mix the mayonnaise and sriracha, then set aside.
Preheat an air-fryer to 220°C. Using clean hands, mix the turkey mince with the lemongrass, chillies, garlic, onion, soy sauce, fish sauce and sesame oil until it resembles a thick paste. Divide into 8 patties of roughly equal size; around 6cm wide.
Cooking in batches, if necessary, add the patties to the air-fryer in a single layer and cook for 10 mins. Flip the burgers and cook for another 8 mins until lightly golden and cooked through. Repeat with the remaining burgers, if needed. If you don’t have an air-fryer, fry the burgers, in batches, in a frying pan over a medium heat for 4-5 mins each side until lightly golden and cooked through.
Meanwhile, cook the sweet potato chips to pack instructions. Set aside 4 burgers for the rainbow turkey noodle salad (see tip, below); cool, then put in an airtight container in the fridge until ready to use – they’ll keep chilled for up to 2 days.
Toast the cut sides of the burger buns in a nonstick frying pan until golden. Divide the sriracha mayo between the bases of the buns and top with the sushi ginger. Add a burger patty to each bun, the coriander leaves and bun lid, then serve with the sweet potato chips.

Tip: Try our rainbow turkey noodle salad using the leftover turkey burgers.
