Preparation
Chef’s notes
The turnovers may leak a bit in the oven – this is normal, and nothing to worry about.
I used my rough puff pastry recipe to make them, but you can use store-bought to make things quick and easy. If you are going to use store-bought puff pastry, use a brand that uses butter instead of oil if possible.
In the directions, I’m assuming you are using store-bought, which usually comes in two 1/2 pound pieces. If you are using homemade, you will need to cut your puff pastry into two 1/2 pound pieces to roll and shape the turnovers.
I like to use a fruit filling that is on the tart/bitter side, as it balances nicely with the cream cheese (but sweet filling will taste good, too). You can omit the cream cheese filling and just use jam if you prefer. I also have recipes for sour cherry turnovers.
