These Blueberry Turnovers are not only delicious, but they are also quite simple to make. Gather your ingredients and let’s get baking!

Blueberry Turnovers

Ingredients

  • 1 package (14 oz) of puff pastry sheets (2 sheets)
  • 2 cups fresh blueberries (you can substitute frozen blueberries)
  • ½ cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 egg (for egg wash)
  • 1 tablespoon milk (for egg wash)
  • Powdered sugar (for dusting, optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine the blueberries, granulated sugar, lemon juice, cornstarch, and vanilla extract. Stir gently and cook until the mixture starts to thicken and bubble, around 5-7 minutes. Remove from heat and let it cool for a bit.
  3. Roll out the puff pastry sheets on a lightly floured surface to smooth out any creases. Cut each sheet into 4 squares.
  4. Add a spoonful of the blueberry filling to the center of each square. Be careful not to overfill them.
  5. Fold each pastry over to create a triangle, and press the edges to seal tightly. You can use a fork to crimp the edges for a decorative touch.
  6. In a small bowl, whisk together the egg and milk to create an egg wash. Brush the tops of the turnovers with the egg wash to help them achieve a beautiful golden color.
  7. Bake in the preheated oven for about 20-25 minutes, or until the turnovers are puffed and golden brown. Allow them to cool slightly before serving.
  8. If desired, dust with powdered sugar before serving to add a touch of sweetness.

Enjoy these delectable Blueberry Turnovers warm from the oven or at room temperature. They are sure to be a hit with family and friends!
