Recipe FAQs

How are blueberry turnovers with puff pastry made?

Blueberry turnovers are made by filling puff pastry squares with a mixture of fresh blueberries, sugar, cornstarch, and lemon juice. The pastry is then folded into triangles, sealed, brushed with an egg wash, and baked until golden brown.

How do I prevent the filling from leaking in a puff pastry turnover?

We prefer this look, but if you want to avoid it, don’t overfill the turnovers and ensure the edges are sealed tightly.

Can I make homemade blueberry turnovers ahead of time?

Yes, assemble the turnovers and freeze them unbaked. Bake from frozen, adding a few extra minutes to the baking time.
