Set a medium size saucepan to medium-low heat and add in the blueberries and sugar.
Stir blueberries and sugar every minute for about 5 minutes until the berries have produced their own juices and become mushy.
Add in the remaining ingredients (corn starch, water, lemon juice and lemon zest if desired) and reduce the heat to low.
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).
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 assemble blueberry turnovers and bake them
Preheat oven to 375°F. Set out a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Roll out puff pastry dough (defrost first) on a lightly flour dusted cutting board or work surface to increase it’s size. Cut it horizontally and vertically - into four equal size square pieces.
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).
Add one tablespoon of cold or room temperature blueberry filling in the center of each puff pastry square.
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.
Transfer turnovers to the parchment paper lined baking sheet and brush each turnover with egg wash.
Bake blueberry turnovers for ~25 minutes at 375 degrees F, or until the pastry dough is golden brown.
Allow turnovers to cool completely and test the heat before biting into 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.
