Step-by-Step Instructions

Preheat the oven to 200°C/180°C fan/gas 6. For the gochujang mayo, mix the mayonnaise with 2 tbsp gochujang, lime zest, and 1 tbsp lime juice. Taste, then add more lime juice or the remaining gochujang if you want it sharper or spicier. Set aside.

Put the roast potatoes in a large bowl and mash until mostly smooth. Add the carrots or swede, Brussels sprouts, stuffing, and cabbage or kimchi, then mash again until the mixture starts to hold together. Stir in the garlic, ginger, Tabasco, sausage, turkey, cheese, bread sauce or mayonnaise, and herbs. Season with salt and black pepper.

Combine the plain flour and semolina flour in a shallow bowl. Lightly oil your hands, then shape the mixture into 6-8 burger-sized patties. If the mixture feels too dry or crumbly, mix in a little more bread sauce or mayonnaise. Coat each patty lightly in the flour mixture and press gently to flatten.
