  • Total Time: 45 minutes
  • Yield: 18 mini turnovers

Ingredients

Puff Pastry

  • 2 sheets frozen puff pastry (thawed)

Filling

  • 1 pound strawberries (chopped)
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons sugar
  • 2 teaspoons cornstarch
  • pinch of salt

Egg Wash

  • 1 egg
  • 1 teaspoon water

Glaze and Topping

  • 3/4 cup powdered sugar
  • 1/4 cup roasted salted pistachios (chopped)

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven and Prepare Baking Sheet: Preheat your oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ensure easy cleanup.
  2. Prep the Strawberry Filling: In a bowl, combine chopped strawberries with sugar, cornstarch, and a pinch of salt. Toss thoroughly and let it sit for 15 to 20 minutes to allow the berries to release their juices and the filling to thicken.
  3. Assemble Turnovers: Slice each puff pastry sheet into 9 equal squares. Using a slotted spoon to minimize excess juice, place about one tablespoon of the strawberry filling onto each square. Fold each square diagonally to form a triangle and press edges firmly with a fork to seal the turnovers securely.
  4. Apply Egg Wash and Bake: Whisk together the egg and water to create an egg wash. Brush this glaze over the surface of each pastry triangle to encourage browning. Bake in the preheated oven for 20 to 25 minutes or until the turnovers are puffed and golden brown. Remove and let cool for 5 to 10 minutes.
  5. Prepare Strawberry Glaze: While the turnovers bake, combine 2 to 3 tablespoons of leftover strawberry juice with powdered sugar in a bowl. Whisk until smooth to form a glaze, adjusting consistency with additional juice or powdered sugar as needed.
  6. Finish and Serve: Drizzle the cooled turnovers with the strawberry glaze and sprinkle generously with chopped roasted pistachios. Serve immediately to enjoy the perfect balance of flaky pastry, sweet fruit, and nutty crunch.

Notes

  • Use a slotted spoon to avoid excess liquid in the filling and to prevent soggy pastry.
  • If puff pastry is not pre-rolled, thaw it completely before cutting.
  • Roasted salted pistachios add a nice crunch and flavor contrast, but you can substitute with unsalted or lightly toasted nuts if preferred.
  • Turnovers are best enjoyed fresh but can be stored in an airtight container for up to 1 day. Reheat briefly in the oven to refresh crispness.
  • Adjust the glaze thickness based on personal preference for sweetness and texture.
