In a bowl, mix basil, cilantro, mint, garlic, brown sugar, soy sauce, ginger, fish sauce, oil, and chili paste. Spread about 2 tablespoons of the mixture evenly over boned side of 1 turkey thigh. Set remaining thigh, boned side down, over herb mixture, aligning with first thigh. Tie thighs together at 1-inch intervals with cotton string to create a cylinder about 3 inches wide and 7 inches long. With your fingers, pat remaining herb mixture evenly all over roast.
