    Ingredients

    What ingredients do you need to make blueberry turnovers?

    Infographic chart with ingredients for Blueberry Turnovers With Puff Pastry Recipe.

    Blueberry filling ingredients for turnovers

    • Fresh blueberries
    • Granulated sugar
    • Cornstarch
    • Water
    • Lemon juice and a little zest (optional)

    Blueberry turnover puff pastry ingredients

    • Puff pastry dough (defrosted)
    • Egg yolk and water (to make an egg wash)
    • Any other ingredients you want for serving: powdered sugar, a scoop of ice cream

    Note: If you want them to taste more like ​​lemon blueberry turnovers, add in the zest of one lemon to the blueberry mixture as it cooks on the stove.

    How to make blueberry filling for turnovers

    This easy blueberry turnover recipe starts with a simple homemade filling.

    Blueberry Turnover Filling with fresh blueberries
    1. Set a medium size saucepan to medium-low heat and add in the blueberries and sugar.
    2. Stir blueberries and sugar every minute for about 5 minutes until the berries have produced their own juices and become mushy.
    3. Add in the remaining ingredients (corn starch, water, lemon juice and lemon zest if desired) and reduce the heat to low.
    4. Continue stirring constantly (every 30-60 seconds) for 10 minutes, until the blueberry mixture is thick and has the consistency of a blueberry sauce. Turn off the burner and ​​remove the blueberry filling from heat (or it will continue to thicken and may harden).
    5. Set aside blueberry filling mixture to cool for 10-15 minutes while assembling the turnovers. You can store the filling in the refrigerator for 2-3 days if assembling the turnovers later.

    How to make blueberry turnovers

    Infographic demonstrating how to make blueberry turnovers recipe with puff pastry.

    High-level overview of this recipe

    • Make blueberry filling
    • Cut puff pastry in squares
    • Add blueberry filling
    • Brush edges of dough with egg wash
    • Seal turnovers and brush with egg wash
    • Bake and let cool

    Detailed steps

    1. Preheat oven to 375°F. Set out a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
    2. Roll out puff pastry dough (defrosted) on a lightly flour dusted cutting board or ​​work surface. Cut it horizontally and vertically – into four equal size square pieces.
    3. In a small bowl, whisk together egg yolk and water to create an egg wash (which will give puff pastry turnovers a golden brown and very flaky dough crust when it bakes).
    4. Add one tablespoon of cold or room temperature blueberry filling in the center of each puff pastry square.
    5. Use a pastry brush to brush ½” along the edge of the puff pastry square with egg wash. Fold opposite puff pastry corners together to form a triangle shape. Use a fork to crimp the edges together by pressing down gently to smoosh both layers together and leave a slight fork shape around the edges of the turnover. Poke the top of the puff pastry with the edge of the folk prongs (which will allow steam to escape during the baking process). Repeat for all turnovers.
    6. Transfer turnovers to the parchment paper lined baking sheet and brush each turnover with egg wash.
    7. Bake blueberry turnovers for ~25 minutes at 375 degrees F, or until the pastry dough is golden brown.
    8. Allow turnovers to cool completely and test the heat before biting in to them. Cooling will take at least 15 minutes and they will be very hot for a while. Serve with any extra blueberry filling in a ​​small bowl on the side.

    FAQs

    Can you make ​​blueberry turnovers using pie crust?

    Yes, you can make mini ​​blueberry pies with this recipe. There are just a couple things to note when making ​​blueberry turnovers with pie crust instead of puff pastry. For guidance, see this recipe for making cherry pie turnovers. You can substitute this blueberry compote in the recipe instead of cherry pie filling and you’ll have delicious results.

    How do you make mini blueberry turnovers?

    To make these turnovers even smaller (just 2-3 bites each), Cut the puff pastry sheets into 6 squares each, instead of 4. Use less blueberry turnover filling – about 1 tbsp each.

    How do you make blueberry cream cheese turnovers from this recipe?

    To turn these into ​​blueberry turnovers with cream cheese filling, smear half a tablespoon of cream cheese in the center of the turnovers. Then use half a tablespoon less of blueberry filling before sealing up and baking them.

    ​​Can I substitute frozen blueberries for fresh?

    You can substitute frozen blueberries for fresh in this and any of my fresh blueberry recipes to make these turnovers year round. If blueberries are in season, though, nothing beats fresh! If using frozen blueberries, I would let them thaw overnight in the refrigerator before making the blueberry turnover filling.

    How do I choose the best blueberries at the farmer’s market?

    Choose berries that are entirely a dark dusky blue– no spots of red. The best blueberries are firm and round, with no dents, and full of the juicy flavor that will make your turnovers delicious!

    Can I add cinnamon to my blueberry turnovers?

    If you like a hint of spice, feel free to add a half teaspoon of cinnamon to this blueberry turnover recipe. Other spice options include a pinch of nutmeg or cloves.

    Notes

    NOTES
    This recipe for blueberry turnovers makes 4 servings, however if your puff pastry box has two sheets of puff pastry, you can make 8 turnovers. There is enough blueberry filling to make 8 turnovers.
     
    If you only make 4 turnovers, serve the extra as a dipping sauce for the puff pastry blueberry turnovers. Or use the extra blueberry filling on pancakes or toast the next day.
    See the recipe video for blueberry turnovers on Sip Bite Go’s YouTube.

      Great turnovers! I made this recipe as written, then made it again in mini. 8 turnovers instead of 4 for a breakfast buffet. I also drizzled powdered sugar frosting on the minis. Yum!5 stars

      While cleaning out my freezer I came across one sheet of puff pastry and the last of a bag of frozen blueberries. Found this recipe and followed it exactly except I cut the filling in half as I only had 1 cup of blueberries. I had a fair amount of filling left over.
      They came out perfectly! I am adding this to my recipe box!5 stars

    My story. Growing up, I didn’t learn to cook.

    (I was actually banned from cooking for years)

    And then in my 20’s I didn’t have to cook because my job as an event planner involved a lot of travel and it was easier to eat out. At the time, I was 100% positive that restaurant food would always taste better than cooking at home, and there was nothing I could do about it.

    Until I fell in love with a chef. He would come over and cook me delicious meals right in my own kitchen. My mind was blown.

    Since then, I’ve been on a mission to figure out easy ways to make restaurant style food at home and share it here on Sip Bite Go.

    Love to eat out and travel? I can totally relate. See my guide on where to eat in Portland, OR.

    Never in a million years did I imagine I’d ditch the 9-5 lifestyle in my late 20’s, move across the country on a whim, start a new life, start a food blog, and write a book.

    But here I am!
