Ingredients Needed

Ingredients Notes

Strawberries: I like to use fresh strawberries but frozen will also work.
Corn starch: This is a must in this recipe it helps thicken the strawberry sauce so it isn’t so runny.
Sugar: Granulated sugar can be adjusted depending on how sweet your strawberries are.

How to make these fresh strawberry turnovers

Step 1: Heat a medium saucepan on medium-low heat and add the diced strawberries, water, sugar, and cornstarch and simmer until thickened.
Step 2: Roll out the puff pastry dough onto a lightly floured surface.

Step 3: Cut the puff pastry sheets into four equal parts, I like to use a pizza cutter.
Step 4: Add some of the fruit filling into the center.

Step 5: Fold the pastry over and, using a fork, pinch the edges of the turnovers.
Step 6: Place the turnovers on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or aluminum foil.

Egg wash brushed on top of the turnovers and a fork cutting holes in the top of the dough.

Step 7: Brush some egg wash over the top.
Step 8: Using a sharp knife, cut a couple of slits in the top.

Recipe Tips

You can adjust the sugar according to how sweet or tart your strawberries are.
Place a piece of parchment paper on the baking sheet for easy clean-up.
If you don’t want a glaze on top, you could sprinkle granulated sugar on top before baking. Or give them a dusting of powdered sugar just before serving.
Make sure you pinch the edges to prevent the filling from oozing out.
In a time crunch? Use store-bought strawberry jam.
