Strawberry Turnovers

Get prepped

1. Preheat your oven 400° F

For the filling

1. In a medium saucepan, combine the chopped strawberries, granulated sugar, cornstarch, lemon juice, and vanilla extract.
2. Cook the mixture over medium low heat, stirring occasionally until the strawberries soften and the filling thickens. This should take about 5-7 minutes.
3. Remove the saucepan from the heat and allow the filling to cool.

For the pastry

1. While the filling cools, prepare the puff pastry.
2. Roll out the dough on a floured surface to about 1/8-inch thickness and cut it into squares or rectangles (depending on your preferred turnover size).
3. Place a spoonful of the cooled strawberry filling onto one half of each pastry square/rectangle, leaving a small border around the edges.
4. Fold the pastry over the filling to create a triangle.
5. Use a fork to press down and seal the edges of the turnover.

Eggwash

1. In a small bowl, whisk together the beaten egg and water to create an egg wash. Brush the top of each turnover with the egg wash; this will give the turnovers a nice golden color when baked.

Bake

1. Place the turnovers on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, leaving some space between them.
2. Bake the turnovers in the preheated oven for about 15-20 minutes or until they are golden brown and puffed up.
3. Once baked, remove the turnovers from the oven and let them cool slightly on a wire rack.

Glaze

1. Combine the powdered sugar, 1 tablespoon of milk and vanilla extract until smooth. Add additional milk til you reach a good consistency for drizzling.
2. Drizzle glaze over the pastries, and serve.
