Ingredients

Blueberry 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
1 egg
1 tbs water
2 tbs turbindo sugar or granulated sugar

Vanilla Glaze

½ cup powdered sugar
½ teaspoon vanilla extract
1-3 tbs cream or milk

Instructions

For the blueberry filling

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 3 minutes, stirring constantly until thickened. Cool filling until warm to the touch before filling dough.

Prepare turnovers

Take puff pastry sheet and cut it into 6 equal squares. Distribute 2-3 tablespoons of 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.

Notes

Storage instructions: Blueberry Turnovers will stay fresh for up to 3 days stored in an airtight container at room temperature. To crisp them up again, place in a toaster oven for a few minutes and they are good as new!
