Equipment

  • 1 Baking sheet
  • Parchment paper
  • 1 small saucepan
  • 1 Mixing spoon or silicone spatula
  • 1 Zester or microplane
  • 1 knife or pizza cutter for cutting puff pastry
  • 1 Fork for sealing edges
  • 1 pastry brush
  • Rolling Pin for slightly flattening puff pastry

Ingredients

  • 2 sheets puff pastry thawed
  • 1 ½ cups blueberries fresh or frozen
  • ¼ cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • ½ teaspoon lemon zest
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 egg beaten (for egg wash)
  • Optional: Coarse sugar for sprinkling

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 400°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

For Filling

  • In a small saucepan, combine blueberries, sugar, cornstarch, lemon juice, and lemon zest. Simmer over medium heat, stirring frequently, until the berries burst and the mixture thickens slightly, about 5–7 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in vanilla. Let cool.

Puff Pastry

  • On a lightly floured surface, unfold puff pastry and cut each sheet into 4 equal squares (8 total).
  • Assemble turnovers: Spoon a heaping tablespoon of blueberry filling onto one corner of each square. (Do not over-fill.) Fold over to form a triangle and press edges with a fork to seal. Transfer to prepared baking sheet.
  • Brush each turnover with beaten egg and sprinkle with coarse sugar if desired. Bake for 15-17 minutes, or until puffed and golden brown.
  • Let turnovers cool for 5–10 minutes before serving. Serve warm or at room temperature.
