Strawberry Lemon Turnovers Recipes

Steps:

• Mix together 1/2 cup strawberries, 6 tablespoons sugar, water, cornstarch, and lemon juice in a small saucepan.
• Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly for five minutes.
• Remove from the heat and add the remaining berries and lemon zest.
• Let cool to room temperature.
• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.
• Roll out the puff pastry sheets until they are about 1/8 inch thick.
• Cut out twelve 3-4 inch circles with a cookie cutter or glass from the two rectangles.
• Take the twelve circles and place on ungreased cookie sheets 1 1/2 inches apart.
• Distribute the strawberry filling between the circles.
• Fold over the dough and press the edges tightly to seal.
• Brush the turnovers with the egg wash and sprinkle with the remaining tablespoon sugar.
• Bake in the preheated over for 14-18 minutes, or until golden brown.

Steps:

• Thaw the puff pastry sheet for 40 minutes or until its soft enough to work with.
• Preheat your oven to 425'F.
• Melt the chocolate in a double boiler. Make sure the water doesn't touch the top pot of the double boiler, it can scorch the chocolate. Stir the butter and citrus zest into the chocolate. The lime I used gives it such a neat flavor. Set aside.
• Lightly coat a large baking tray with cooking spray.
• Beat the egg until it's nice and fluffy and a light yellow shade.
• Roll out the pastry so its square. Cut the puff pastry into 4 equal squares and brush 1/2 of each square around the edges with the egg.
• Cut up your strawberries and mound them in the middle of each pastry square.
• Add some of the chocolate on top of each square of strawberries and fold the corners together to form a triangle. Press the edges together gently to seal making sure you don't leave any holes so the goodies won't leak out.
• Cut a slit on top of the triangle to let the steam out. Brush with the egg mixture and sprinkle with the sugar.
• Place baking sheet on the center rack in the oven and bake for 10 minutes or until the pastry is a golden shade on top.
• When done remove from oven, let cool for a few minutes on the tray then transfer over to a wire rack and cool further.
• Serve warm with ice cream, whipped cream, icing sugar if you want more sweetness or drizzle them with more chocolate.
• Bon Appetit!

Steps:

• On a cookie sheet separate dough into 4 rectangles.
• Pinch seams closed.
• Sprinkle each with 1 tbsp confectioners' sugar.
• Spoon 1/4 cream cheese and 1/4 preserves in center of each.
• Brush edges with egg white.
• Fold corners to center; press the 4 corners together. (it does not need to be totally closed).
• Brush tops with egg white.

Steps:

• Thaw pastry sheets on the counter for 30 minutes.
• Unfold one sheet onto a lightly floured board or clean counter, and roll out to 12x12", use a pizza cutter to cut into 9 (4x4") squares.
• Using a spoon, place a teaspoon of raspberry jelly in the center of each square, and spread into a 2" circle.
• Brush the edges of each square with water.
• Place a tablespoon of lemon curd in the center of a square, then quickly fold over one corner to the opposite corner to create a triangle, and press the edges to seal. It's important to do this quickly before the lemon curd has a chance to run out to the edges and gets in the way of sealing the edges, which is why I work with one square at a time for this step.
• Place the triangles on a jelly roll size baking sheet.
• Repeat this process with the second puff pastry sheet.
• Bake at 400 for 15 minutes or until golden brown.
