Ingredients

For the Strawberry Filling:

  • 3 cups strawberries, stems removed and quartered
  • 3 tablespoon sugar
  • 3 tablespoon water
  • 2 tablespoon cornstarch
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 2 puff pastry sheets typically 2 sheets come in one package
  • 1 egg white

For the Glaze:

  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 2-3 tablespoon milk
  • ½ teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • dash of salt

Instructions

  • Set the puff pastry out from the freezer for about 15 minutes prior to using them.
  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • In a medium saucepan, add the strawberries, sugar, water, cornstarch, and vanilla over medium heat.
  • Cook for about 5 minutes, breaking it up as it cooks with a fork. The strawberries should break down as they cook and the mixture with thicken up as it cooks.
  • Lay out both puff pastry sheets on a flour dusted surface. Lightly roll them out with a rolling pin to flatten out the creases.
  • Cut each sheet into four squares.
  • Add ~2 tablespoons of filling to the middle of each square. Dip your finger in a bowl of water and run it along the edges of the puff pastry and then fold one corner over to form a triangle.
  • Use a fork to seal the edges and place on parchment paper lined baking sheet.
  • Using a pastry or silicone brush, brush the egg white lightly over each turnover.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for about 15 minutes - until golden.
  • Make the glaze by whisking together the powdered sugar, milk, vanilla and salt.
  • Drizzle the glaze over the turnovers.
  • Enjoy!

Notes

  • Storage. Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature or the refrigerator for 3-4 days.
  • Add some lemon zest. Add 1 teaspoon of lemon zest to the strawberry filling for a little burst of lemon flavor.
  • Use strawberry jam. In a time crunch? Use store-bought strawberry jam instead of making the filling from scratch! I have done this several times and it works perfectly. 
  • Go easy on the filling. Don't overfill your turnovers! It's not the end of the world if some of the filling oozes out but you don't want a complete mess, so stick with around 2 tablespoons of filling.
