Ingredients

Scale

Blackberry Filling

12 ounces blackberries (fresh or frozen)
⅓ cup granulated sugar
2 tablespoons water
¼ teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
1 tablespoon cornstarch

Turnover Ingredients

17.25 ounces puff pastry (1 package, two sheets, thawed)
1 egg
1 tablespoon water

Glaze Ingredients

½ cup powdered sugar
2 tablespoons heavy cream or milk (add more as needed)

Instructions

Prepare the Filling: Place blackberries, sugar, water, salt, and lemon juice in a medium saucepan. Bring mixture to a simmer over medium-low heat, stirring frequently. Cook for 3 to 4 minutes until blackberries break down and release juices. Stir in cornstarch and simmer an additional 1 to 2 minutes until the filling thickens. Remove from heat and let cool completely.
Assemble Turnovers: Preheat oven to 400°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Roll out the thawed puff pastry on a lightly floured surface and cut each sheet into 4 even squares. Spoon about 2 tablespoons of the cooled blackberry filling onto the center of each square. Whisk together egg and water to make an egg wash, then brush the edges of each puff pastry square. Fold the squares diagonally to form triangles, carefully sealing edges with a fork to keep filling contained.
Prepare for Baking: Transfer turnovers to the lined baking sheet. Cut three slits in the top of each pastry to allow steam to escape during baking. This prevents bursting and ensures even puffing.
Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 18 to 21 minutes, or until the puff pastry turns golden brown and puffed. Remove from oven and allow the turnovers to cool before glazing.
Prepare the Glaze: In a small bowl, whisk powdered sugar with heavy cream or milk until smooth. Adjust consistency with more liquid if needed.
Glaze and Serve: Drizzle the glaze evenly over the cooled turnovers and allow it to set for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy!

Notes

You can use frozen blackberries without thawing; the cooking process will break them down.
Make sure the filling is cooled completely before assembly to avoid soggy pastry.
Ensure puff pastry is properly thawed before rolling to prevent cracking.
Use a sharp knife or pizza cutter for clean, even pastry squares.
The glaze can be adjusted for thickness by adding more powdered sugar or cream.
Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days or refrigerate for up to 4 days.
Reheat briefly in the oven to restore flakiness before serving.
