Recipe Ingredients

You’ll need the following ingredients to make this amazing puff pastry turnovers recipe:

Puff pastry- I used 1 box of Pepperidge Farm Puff Pastry Frozen Pastry Dough Sheets.

Granulated sugar
Cornstarch
Lemon zest- I love using fresh lemon zest in this recipe.
Lemon juice- Fresh is best, but bottle lemon juice will work in a pinch!
Vanilla extract
Ground cinnamon
Egg

INGREDIENT NOTES:

Puff Pastry: Store-bought puff pastry is convenient and works perfectly.
Fresh Blueberries: Fresh blueberries provide the best flavor and texture, but wild blueberries can also be used.
Lemon Zest and Juice: Adds a bright, tangy flavor to the filling. I hope you use fresh, it really does make a difference!
Egg: Used for the egg wash to give the turnovers a beautiful golden brown color.

HOW TO MAKE BLUEBERRY TURNOVERS STEP-BY-STEP:

Check out the quick visual guides below. For full instructions and ingredients, see the printable recipe card at the end.

STEP 1: Preheat the oven to 400°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

STEP 2: In a medium saucepan over medium-high heat, combine the blueberries, granulated sugar, cornstarch, lemon zest, lemon juice, vanilla extract, and cinnamon. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the mixture thickens and the blueberries start to burst. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly.

STEP 3: Unfold the thawed puff pastry sheets on a lightly floured surface.

STEP 4: Cut each puff pastry sheet into 4 equal squares with a pizza cutter, totaling 8 squares.

STEP 5: Spoon a tablespoon of the blueberry mixture onto the center of each square.

STEP 6: Brush the edges of the pastry squares with the beaten egg. Fold each square diagonally to form a triangle shape. Press the edges together to seal, and use a fork to crimp the edges.

STEP 7: Place the turnovers on the prepared baking sheet. Brush egg wash over the top of each turnover.

STEP 8: Bake until the turnovers are puffed up and golden brown.

STEP 9: Let the turnovers cool for a few minutes before serving.

PRO TIP:

Make sure the puff pastry is thawed for about 30-35 minutes before using it, ensuring it’s pliable but still cold. This will make it easier to work with and help achieve a flaky, golden crust.

Storage and Reheating

Storage: Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days or in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
Reheating: Reheat in a preheated oven at 350°F until warmed through. You can also use an air fryer for best results.
Freezing: Freeze unbaked turnovers on a baking sheet, then transfer to a freezer-safe bag. Bake from frozen, adding a few extra minutes to the baking time.

Additions & Substitutions

ADDITIONS:

Cream Cheese: Add a small dollop of cream cheese on top of the blueberry filling for a creamy contrast. It sounds odd, but it’s weirdly so tasty! LOL!
Vanilla Icing: Drizzle with vanilla icing after baking for extra sweetness!
Coarse Sugar: Sprinkle coarse sugar on top of the turnovers before baking for added crunch.

SUBSTITUTIONS:

Puff Pastry: Use pie crust or rough puff if preferred.
Blueberries: You could use a blueberry pie filling instead of making it with fresh fruit.
Lemon: Use orange zest and juice for a different citrus flavor.

FAQs about these Blueberry Puff Pastry Turnovers:
