Ingredients
  

  • 2 sheets frozen puff pastry thawed
  • 1 pound strawberries chopped
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons sugar
  • 2 teaspoons cornstarch
  • pinch salt
  • 1 egg + 1 teaspoon water
  • 3/4 cup powdered sugar
  • 1/4 cup roasted salted pistachios chopped

Equipment

  • Chef's Knife
  • Oven
  • Baking Sheet
  • Whisk

Method
 

  1. Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Place the chopped strawberries in a bowl. Sprinkle with the sugar, cornstarch, and salt, tossing well. Let sit for 15 to 20 minutes, until the berries have released some juice!
  3. Slice both sheets of puff pastry into 9 squares, like a tic-tac-toe board.
  4. Use a slotted spoon and add about a tablespoon of the strawberries to each square. Fold one corner to meet the other and press the edges together with a fork to seal them.
  5. Whisk together the egg and water and brush it on the pastry triangles.
  6. Place the sheet in the oven and bake the triangles for 20 to 25 minutes, until golden brown.
  7. Let cool for 5 to 10 minutes.
  8. While the turnovers are baking, take 2 to 3 tablespoons of the remaining strawberry juice in the bowl and whisk it with the powdered sugar to create a glaze.
  9. After 5 to 10 minutes, drizzle the turnovers with the strawberry glaze. Sprinkle the chopped pistachios on top. Serve immediately!

Notes

  • Make Ahead: You can prepare the filling in advance and store it in the refrigerator until you're ready to assemble the turnovers.
  • Don’t Skip the Resting Time: Allowing the strawberries to sit after mixing helps release their juices.
  • Watch the Oven: Every oven is different. Keep an eye on the turnovers as they bake.
  • Try Different Fruits: While strawberries are delicious, you can experiment with other fruits.
