Method

  1. Add 1 tbsp oil to a non-stick frying pan. When hot add shallots, lemon grass and chilli. Cook for 3 minutes, then tip in the mince and cook, breaking up with the back of a spoon, until brown and cooked through.
  2. Meanwhile, mix together the lime juice, palm sugar and fish sauce, stirring until the sugar has dissolved. Pour half over the mince and bubble for 1 minute.
  3. Mix the remaining ingredients, saving a small handful of mint for garnish, with the rest of the dressing. Top with the turkey mix and sprinkle over chilli slices and mint leaves.
