Berry Turnovers

There’s something undeniably comforting about a flaky pastry filled with warm, juicy berries. Berry turnovers are one of those classic treats that feel both nostalgic and indulgent, whether you enjoy them in the morning with coffee or as an afternoon pick-me-up. Their golden crust, bursting with fruit, is a simple pleasure that never goes out of style.

These hand-held pastries are usually made with puff pastry or pie dough and filled with a mixture of berries like strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, or blackberries. Sometimes sweetened with just a touch of sugar and maybe a bit of lemon zest, the filling is where the magic happens. It’s the contrast between the crisp exterior and the syrupy fruit inside that makes each bite so satisfying.

Berry turnovers are incredibly versatile. They can be rustic or refined, depending on how you prepare them. Dust them with powdered sugar for a more elegant presentation, or drizzle with a light glaze if you’re in the mood for something sweet and shiny. They’re great warm out of the oven, but also hold up beautifully when cooled, which makes them a perfect treat for brunches, potlucks, or picnics.

What’s also nice about turnovers is that they don’t require a lot of effort to make, especially if you use store-bought pastry dough. That means you can whip up a batch quickly whenever you want to take advantage of fresh berries in season. But even frozen berries work well in a pinch, making this a year-round option.

Pair a berry turnover with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for dessert, or serve it with your morning coffee for an indulgent breakfast. Either way, the combination of flaky crust and tart-sweet berries never disappoints.

Berry turnovers may look humble, but they bring big flavor. They strike the perfect balance between ease and elegance, making them a go-to favorite for bakers of all skill levels. Whether you keep them simple or dress them up, they always deliver that little extra bit of joy that only a good pastry can bring.

Ingredients

  

1x2x3x

• 1 cup mixed berries such as blueberries, raspberries, strawberries
• 1/2 cup granulated sugar
• 1 tablespoon cornstarch for thickening
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice freshly squeezed
• 1 package puff pastry thawed
• 1 egg lightly beaten, for egg wash

Instructions

 

• Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
• In a medium saucepan, combine the mixed berries, sugar, cornstarch, and lemon juice. Cook over medium heat until the mixture thickens and the berries have released their juices, about 5-7 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool.
• Roll out the puff pastry on a lightly floured surface and cut into squares (about 4×4 inches).
• Place a spoonful of berry mixture in the center of each square. Fold the pastry over the filling to form a triangle and press the edges to seal.
• Brush the tops of the turnovers with the beaten egg and place them on the prepared baking sheet.
• Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown and puffed. Let cool on a wire rack before serving.
