We use would you mind followed by a gerund (verb + -ing). Because the verb is turning, "would you mind" is the correct choice.
Also, while you're in the kitchen, could you wash the absolute mountain of dishes in the sink? I would really appreciate it!
We use could you followed by the base form of the verb. Because the verb is wash (not washing), "could you" is the correct choice.
