Breakfast pastries are my love language. I love going to bakeries and picking out all of the delicious baked goods. I personally love the fruit-filled pastries with crispy, flaky crusts. Give me a cup of coffee and a pastry and I'm good. These blueberry turnovers are SO delicious and SO simple to make.

The filling is homemade and is prepared by using frozen blueberries. You can also use fresh blueberries if you'd like, but I love the ease of using frozen whenever I want because blueberries aren't always in season.

Recipe FAQs
Yes! The unbaked blueberry turnovers can be frozen. Place them in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and freeze until frozen. Once frozen, transfer to a freezer bag or airtight container and you may freeze them for up to three months. The turnovers can be baked directly from the freezer. Adjust baking time by a few minutes, as needed.
Yes! You may use fresh or frozen blueberries in this blueberry pastry recipe. I only like to use frozen because blueberries aren't always in season.

Blueberry Turnovers
Ingredients
Filling
- 2 ½ cups 12 oz bag frozen blueberries
- ¼ cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
- 1 tbs cornstarch
- 1 tbs water
Dough
- 1 sheet puff pastry I LOVE Wewalka brand
- 1 egg
- 1 tbs water
- 2 tbs turbindo sugar or granulated sugar
Glaze
- ½ cup powdered sugar
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1-3 tbs cream or milk
Instructions
- Heat berries, sugar and lemon juice on the stovetop in a medium-sized saucepan on low heat for abut ten minutes or until the berries start releasing their juices, stirring frequently. Once there is a lot of juice, mix cornstarch and water together and stir into the blueberry mixture. Bring to a gentle boil and simmer for 2-3 minutes, stirring constantly until thickened. Cool filling until warm to the touch before filling dough.
- Take your puff pastry sheet and cut it into 6 equal squares. Distribute filling evenly in the center of each square.
- Whisk egg and water together in a small bowl and brush on the edges of the dough before folding over into a triangle shape and pinching the edges closed with a fork. The filling might squish out a little bit, but that's okay. Brush the tops of the triangles with more egg wash and sprinkle tops with sugar.
- Preheat oven according to puff pastry's manufacturer's instructions and bake for 15-20 minutes or until light golden brown. Allow them to cool slightly.
- For the glaze, whisk powdered sugar, vanilla and cream or milk together until smooth. Drizzle over warm pastries.

what can I use to make this vegan? It looks delicious and I’d love to know of substitutes I could use to be able to eat them.
Maddy says
Do you think pie crust would work instead of puff pastry?
Jessica says
Sure! Just not as light and flakey.
Teri says
Can I use fresh blueberries?
Jessica says
Yes!
Lisa says
How would you change this recipe to use fresh blueberries?
Sharon says
These came out great. I made them with frozen small Maine blueberries, reduced the sugar a little, and added a couple sprinkles of cinnamon to the blueberries. Didn't have time to put on the drizzle, because my boys ate them all before I could do it. It clearly wasn't missed. Thanks!
Rachel says
What are the dimensions of the puff pastry? The only one available in my local grocery was a square which you can never get squares put out of squares unless cutting it in half....
Jessica says
Nope! Just mash them a little more.
Julie says
Can you freeze these? And if so, how would you freeze them.
Jessica says
Freeze after baking, thaw overnight in the fridge the night before you would like to serve them. Before serving, pop them in the oven again to make them warm and crisp them up.
Amy S. says
I just made these and they are delicious!
Perhaps a little clarification in the instructions is needed because I did fumble through parts. Such as: temperature to heat the berries at, and include the part to follow along with manufacture's directions for baking temperatures.
I used the Tenderflake brand (which comes in a small brick) rolled out to 9"x12" (approximately), baked for 15 minutes at 400ºF. I did have to rotate my baking sheet half way through the time because my oven does not distribute heat well.
Jessica says
Sorry for the confusion, Amy! You are absolutely right and I have just corrected the recipe with those additions. I'm happy you enjoyed these turnovers! They're one of my favorites.
KATHY Flowers says
Thank you for clarifying! Ant difference if I use fresh blueberries?
Jessica says
Nope! 🙂
Sue says
What temperature do you use to bake these?
Jessica says
Follow the manufacturer's instructions on the package you choose to use.
