Ingredients
Pastry
- 2 sheets frozen puff pastry (thawed)
Filling
- 1 pound strawberries (chopped)
- 1 1/2 tablespoons sugar
- 2 teaspoons cornstarch
- pinch of salt
Egg Wash
- 1 egg
- 1 teaspoon water
Glaze & Topping
- 3/4 cup powdered sugar
- 1/4 cup roasted salted pistachios (chopped)
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prepare for baking the turnovers.
- Prepare Strawberry Filling: In a bowl, toss the chopped strawberries with sugar, cornstarch, and a pinch of salt. Let the mixture sit for 15 to 20 minutes to allow the strawberries to release their juices, which will help thicken the filling.
- Shape Turnovers: Slice each puff pastry sheet into 9 squares forming a total of 18 squares. Using a slotted spoon, transfer about a tablespoon of the strawberry mixture onto each square, avoiding excess juice. Fold each square into a triangle by bringing one corner to the opposite corner, then seal the edges firmly with a fork.
- Brush with Egg Wash: Whisk together the egg and water and brush this mixture over each pastry triangle. This will give the turnovers a glossy, golden finish when baked.
- Bake: Place the turnovers on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 20 to 25 minutes until the pastries puff up and turn golden brown. Remove from the oven and allow them to cool for 5 to 10 minutes.
- Make Strawberry Glaze: While the turnovers bake, whisk 2 to 3 tablespoons of the leftover strawberry juice with the powdered sugar to create a glaze. Adjust the thickness by adding more juice or powdered sugar gradually until desired consistency is reached.
- Glaze & Garnish: Drizzle the glaze over the cooled turnovers and sprinkle chopped roasted pistachios on top for added crunch and flavor.
- Serve: Serve the Mini Strawberry Pistachio Turnovers immediately and enjoy their fresh, flaky, and nutty goodness.
Notes
- Make sure to use a slotted spoon to avoid adding too much liquid to the puff pastry, which can make it soggy.
- Thaw puff pastry completely according to package instructions before slicing and filling.
- The glaze consistency can be adjusted by slowly adding more powdered sugar or strawberry juice as needed.
- These turnovers are best served fresh but can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for 1 day.
