So today I would like to introduce you to this meal that put smiles on my family’s face.

Ayesha Curry- “My 4-year-old daughter, Riley, isn’t afraid to dig in and help me out in the kitchen,” Ayesha Curry, the author of The Seasoned Life cookbook, says. “Burgers are always a great way to get her involved—sometimes we even play around and use large cookie cutters to make fun-shaped patties!”

DIRECTIONS

1. Heat oven to 400°F. In a large bowl, whisk together the lime juice, vinegar, honey, and a pinch each salt and pepper. Add the cabbage, apple, and jalapeño and toss to coat. Let sit, tossing occasionally, until ready to serve.
2. Line a large rimmed baking sheet with foil and spread the potato chips in an even layer. Bake just until warm (this releases the oils and helps the spice stick), about 5 minutes. Toss with the paprika.
3. Meanwhile, in a small bowl,whisk together the mayonnaise, Sriracha, and lemon juice; set aside.
4. In a large bowl, whisk together the chili paste, soy sauce, and ginger; stir in the onion, then add the turkey and mix to combine. Form the mixture into four 3⁄4-inch-thick patties.
5. Heat a grill, or the oil in a large cast-iron skillet, to medium-high heat. Grill or cook the burgers until an instant-read thermometer registers 165°F, 7 to 8 minutes per side on the grill or 4 to 5 minutes per side in the skillet.
6. Spread the buns with a touch of the Sriracha mayonnaise, then top with the burgers and slaw. Serve with the potato chips and remaining mayonnaise.
