CREAM CHEESE TURNOVERS

Steps:

• Combine pastry dry ingredients in a food processor. Pulse in butter 10 seconds, then water for 10 seconds. Form into a ball and refrigerate for 1 hour.
• Roll pastry in a 12x12 rectangle. Cut into nine even squares. Cover and set aside while preparing filling.
• For filling, beat together cheese and yolk until combined. Add preserves and mix well. Spoon equal amounts of mixture onto each pastry square.
• Moisten edges of pastry with water. Fold to form a triangle and seal edges with the tines of a fork. Brush with egg white and dust with sugar.
• Cut 2-3 air vents in the top of each turnover. Place on a cookie sheet and bake at 375 degrees for 15-20 minutes.
• For icing, beat sugar, vanilla, and milk until smooth. Place icing in a sandwich baggie, nip off 1/8" of one corner. Squeeze icing over warm turnovers.

STRAWBERRY TURNOVERS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400°F. Line two large baking sheets with parchment paper and set aside.
• Unroll both pieces of the thawed puff pastry and cut each one into four squares (you will have 8 square pieces total). Set aside.
• In a medium sized mixing bowl, mix together the chopped strawberries, sugar, and cornstarch until well combined. Set aside.
• In a separate mixing bowl, using an electric mixer, beat the cream cheese until smooth. Add in the powdered sugar and vanilla extract and mix until fully combined.
• Evenly distribute the strawberry mixture and cream cheese mixture between each piece of puff pastry, making sure to spoon the mixture closer towards one corner.
• Gently fold the other corner over, making sure to keep the mixture inside, and then crimp with a fork to seal. Brush each turnover with the egg white.
• Bake at 400°F for 17-20 minutes or until lightly golden brown.
• Remove from the oven and set aside to cool for about 10 minutes.
• Add the powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract to a small mixing bowl and mix until everything is well combined. If needed, add more milk to thin out the glaze or add more powdered sugar to thicken it up a bit.
• Evenly distribute the glaze between all of the turnovers.

CREAM CHEESE AND HONEY TURNOVERS

Steps:

• 1. Preheat the oven at 350° and grease two cookie sheets. Put them aside.
• 2. Mix the room temp cream cheese, honey and vanilla extract. You can do it by hand with a wooden spoon or mix it in the electric mixer until everything is incorporated.
• 3. Cut each puff pastry sheets in either 9 small squares or 6 big squares.
• 4. Put 1 or 2 Tbsp of the filling per square of puff pastry. To close them, in a diamond like position take each corner and put them one on top the other and press to secure.
• 5. Now put all turnovers on the pre-greased cookie sheets. Beat the egg and brush each turnover well. This is going to seal each turnover. You can sprinkle sugar on top before or after bake.
• 6. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes or until golden.

JAM & CREAM CHEESE FILLED TURNOVERS

• Cut each into four 6-inch squares; place 1 1/2 tbsp cream cheese in center of each square, then place 1 1/2 tbsp of jam.
• Brush edges of each square with water. Fold the squares in half diagonally to form triangles, pressing edges together firmly. Press edges with tines of a fork to seal well.
• Arrange turnovers on a dampened baking sheet; brush with egg wash.
• With sharp knife, cut several slits in the top of each turnover.
• Sprinkle with the sugar, bake them in the upper third for 12-15 minutes or until puffed& golden.
