Recipe Highlights
- Only Three Ingredients: These delicious breakfast pastries only require 3 ingredients, and dare I say you could get away with only 2 if you’re out of egg! Puff pastry and canned pie filling are the two must-haves. If you don’t have an egg, you could try pinching the sides together and hope they hold their shape or even use a little touch of water to help seal the sides of the puff pastry together.
- Versatile: Switch up the filling flavors, drizzle the tops with different toppings, and more! Make these turnovers your favorite or make a variety if hosting a food bar for a party.
- Make-Ahead: I love how these can be made ahead of time for an easy breakfast on the go if needed!
Key Ingredients
Here’s what you’ll need to make these easy turnovers:
Complete list of ingredients and amounts can be found in the recipe card below.
- Puff Pastry – A package should come with two sheets and this will make 8 turnovers.
- Pie Filling – Pie filling typically comes in large cans, around 21 ounces. If making 8 turnovers with the two puff pastry sheets, you’ll only use about half of the pie filling. Use the leftover pie filling to make a double batch or make these no-bake mini cheesecakes.
- Egg – The egg is used to help seal the edges of the puff pastry together and to brush on the outside for that golden brown touch.
How to Make Easy Blueberry Turnovers
Begin by preheating the oven to 350° F. and line a baking sheet (large enough to fit 8 turnovers, or two baking sheets holding 4 each) with parchment paper or cooking spray.
5. Place the turnovers on to the prepared baking sheet and bake at 350 for 25-30 minutes or until the dough is golden brown.
Powdered Sugar Drizzle Recipe
Although not required, this delicious powdered sugar drizzle is highly recommended on top of these pastries.
Mix together about 3 heaping tablespoons of powdered sugar and 1 tablespoon of milk or half-and-half (or heavy cream) to create a glaze. Feel free to add/reduce the amounts to get the consistency you’re looking for.
Tip: Allow the turnovers to cool before drizzling the glaze or it will soak in to the turnover instead of remaining on top.

Turnover Recipe FAQs
Pastry dough is filled with a sweet or savory filling and then the dough is folded over the filling, sealed, and then baked or fried.
A turnover is typically made with a pastry dough, like puff pastry, and then it’s folder over a filling. A hand pie typically uses pie dough and can be in a square or circle shape, rather than a half moon or triangle like a turnover.
You can! Frying a turnover in vegetable or canola oil can be an alternative to baking.
