    Fresh raspberries make all the difference

    This recipe for fresh raspberry puff pastry turnovers is 10-times better than any frozen turnovers from the grocery store. Homemade raspberry turnovers are a simple puff pastry dessert that you can freeze in large batches and serve as a treat after dinner or a sweet brunch side.

    Inspiration for this easy raspberry turnover recipe came after picking fresh raspberries on a farm outside Portland, Oregon.

    In most areas of the country, you can pick fresh berries to make the homemade raspberry filling from early summer through fall.

    If you can’t make it out to pick your own raspberries, however, store-bought fresh raspberries and puff pastry will work just as well.

    I’m a huge fan of any fruit treat, especially raspberry desserts. I’ve also used this raspberry turnovers recipe to make a batch of apple and cherry turnovers. Likewise, you can adapt this recipe to make a variety of fruit puff pastry turnovers.

    Ingredients for raspberry turnovers

    This raspberry turnover recipe from scratch uses fresh raspberries, sugar, vanilla extract, and ground cinnamon. The raspberry turnover filling ingredients melt down in a pan on the stove until and become a jam-like consistency. In about 20 minutes you have a fresh homemade raspberry filling.

    How to make raspberry turnovers

    Step 1. First, start by making the filling. To do this, add raspberries, sugar, vanilla and cinnamon to a large pan over medium heat.

    Next stir regularly as the raspberries break down and form a thick jam, for about 20-30 minutes.

    NOTE: See recipe video for example of what the fresh raspberry filling consistency will look like when ready.

    Step 2. Now preheat your oven to 400 degrees F. After that, cut each sheet of puff pastry into 4 squares.

    Next fill each puff pastry with 2-3 tablespoons of fresh raspberry filling. Then fold raspberry turnovers into triangles, and press edges with a fork to seal.

    Step 3. To cook and serve immediately, brush melted butter on top of pastry, sprinkle on sugar, and bake for 15-20 minutes, until golden brown.

    Alternatively, you can also freeze raspberry turnovers and add about 10 minutes to the cooking time when baking from frozen.

    TIP: A word to the wise: Let these puff pastry desserts completely cool down for about 15 minutes before eating them. The filling is very, very hot right out of the oven!

    FAQs

    How do you store raspberry turnovers?

    If you’re making them ahead, these fresh raspberry turnovers will stay 2-3 days in the fridge. For lasting freshness, store them sealed in plastic wrap in an airtight container.

    Can you freeze raspberry turnovers?

    Yes! As a matter of fact, making and freezing puff pastry turnovers in batches is a great way to have them available for breakfast and dessert at a moment’s notice. Freeze the fresh raspberry turnovers individually wrapped in parchment paper.

    You can also freeze them spaced out on a baking sheet then transfer them to a bag. Do not brush with an egg wash before freezing them.

    This smoked cake is super simple fruit dessert cooked on the Traeger that has a nice smoky flavor.

    How do you bake frozen raspberry turnovers?

    Frozen puff pastry turnovers taste just as great as fresh turnovers! To bake frozen turnovers, preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Then brush with an egg wash or add a pat of butter to the top of the turnovers and bake for about 25 minutes or until golden brown on top.

    How do you thicken the raspberry turnovers?

    This recipe is for fresh raspberry turnovers without cornstarch. To thicken the filling faster, mix one tablespoon of cornstarch with one quarter cup of water, then pour the mixture into the fresh raspberries during the first step.

    Final tips for making raspberry turnovers

    • Egg wash before baking. To bake frozen turnovers, first preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Then brush with an egg wash or add a pat of butter to the top of the turnovers. Next bake for about 25 minutes or until golden brown on top.
    • Freeze and store. Homemade raspberry turnovers are a puff pastry dessert you can freeze in large batches, then serve as a treat or for a sweet brunch dish.
    • Try different fruits. This easy raspberry turnover recipe can be adapted for other fruits. Apples, cherries, turnover with blueberries, and strawberries are great puff pastry turnover options. Use the same method of cooking down the fresh fruit with sugar on the stove. If you’re looking for a shortcut or making puff pastry turnovers out of season, jam turnovers are a great alternative. So are these cherry pie turnovers with pie crust or these mini apple hand pies.

      I love this recipe. I have fresh blueberries and blackberries ready to bake tomorrow. This a dumb question but I am confused. Do you bake the turnovers BEFORE you freeze them? Great recipe and tips. Thanks

        Hey Wendy – hope I caught you before you make them.

        They’re so easy to make, so let me clear up the confusion.

        If you want to freeze fruit turnovers, just freeze them as-is – – don’t bake them first. You can bake them from frozen later, they just need some extra time in the oven to turn golden brown.

        If you’re going to eat them day-of, you don’t have to freeze them first. Bake them fresh.

        Let me know how they turn out.

        Hey Wendy,

        Apologies – thought I responded. Hopefully you’ve enjoyed them by now – – but incase not, here is my response: I freeze turnovers in the raw dough, and bake them later when I’m ready to eat them. I also add a little egg wash to the outside and/or butter to get golden brown.

        Cheers,
        Jenna

      I made something similar recently but used strawberries instead since that’s a favorite fruit of my entire family. These look so delicious, though! I used strawberry jam, but now I want to try it with fresh strawberries since they are in season!!

    Hey, I’m Jenna Passaro.

    I develop easy recipes that can transform your kitchen into a restaurant – and you into a true home chef.

      

    Where to start?

    Learn the secrets to smoking tasty Traeger recipes and making pizza at home. And cook amazing tri tip steak dinners.

    Or, fall in love with something new to cook with your air fryer, pellet smoker, BBQ grill, sous vide cooker, and more…

    You’ll notice, I kind of geek out over new cooking trends and tools!

    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!
