This reworking of a traditional Vietnamese roll has more salad and leaner meat, but just as much flavour!

Instructions

  1. Combine the lime juice, fish sauce and sugar in a medium bowl. Add the carrot and cucumber and stir to coat. Set aside for 1 hour to ‘pickle’, stirring occasionally. Drain, reserving the liquid.
  2. Meanwhile, put the turkey mince, shallot, coriander and chilli in a large bowl. Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper,then mix well using your hands. Roll level tablespoons of the mixture into 16 balls, then flatten them into 4cm-diameter patties and chill in the fridge for 20 minutes.
  3. Heat the oil in a large non-stick frying pan over a medium-high heat. Fry the patties for 3-4 minutes each side until cooked through.
  4. Spread the rolls with the mayonnaise and divide the lettuce, bean sprouts, pickled vegetables and patties equally between them. Drizzle with a little of the reserved pickling liquid and serve.
