BLUEBERRY AND MASCARPONE TURNOVERS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
• Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Set aside.

• Using a 3 1/2-inch round cookie cutter or a glass, cut the pie dough into 12 circles. Place the dough on the prepared baking sheet.
• Using a pastry brush, lightly brush the edges of the dough with the beaten egg.
• Place about 1 1/2 teaspoons of the cheese mixture in the center of the dough. Fold the dough in half to enclose the filling and pinch the edges to seal. Using the tines of a fork, gently crimp the sealed edges.

BLUEBERRY TURNOVERS

Steps:

• Lightly flour a work surface. Roll out the puff pastry sheets into squares 12 inches by 12 inches; the pastry will become slightly thinner. Cover with plastic wrap and chill.
• Heat the oven to 375 degrees F.
• In a small mixing bowl, stir together the preserves, cornstarch, brown sugar, and lemon zest. Fold in the fresh blueberries and vanilla, and chill while you cut the dough. Using a sharp knife, cut each puff pastry sheet into 4 (6-inch) squares.
• Lay a pastry square on a work surface and brush the edges with egg wash. In the center of the square, place 2 heaping tablespoons of blueberry filling. Brush the edges of the pastry square with egg wash and fold it in half to create a triangle. Carefully press the edges together to seal them well with fork tines. Transfer to the cookie sheet and keep refrigerated. Repeat with the remaining ingredients, placing the turnovers 1-inch apart. Brush the tops with the egg wash and sprinkle with granulated sugar. Bake until golden brown, 20 to 25 minutes.
• Serve warm or let cool to room temperature. Serve within 1 day.

BLUEBERRY AND MASCARPONE TURNOVERS

Steps:

• In a small bowl, mix together the mascarpone cheese, sugar, cornstarch, lemon zest, and lemon juice until smooth. Stir in the blueberries.
• Using the cookie cutter, cut the pie crusts into 12 circles. Place the dough circles on a parchment paper-lined baking sheet. Using a pastry brush, lightly brush the edges of each piece of dough with the egg. Spoon about 1 1/2 teaspoons of the cheese mixture in the center of each circle. Fold the dough in half to enclose the filling and pinch the edges to seal. Using the tines of a fork, gently crimp the sealed edges. Refrigerate for 10 minutes.
• In a large, heavy-bottomed saucepan, pour enough oil to fill the pan about a third of the way. Heat over medium heat until a deep-frying thermometer inserted in the oil reaches 375°F. (If you don't have a thermometer, toss in a cube of bread; it will brown in about 3 minutes and, when it does, the oil is ready.) Fry the turnovers, turning once, for 1 to 1 1/2 minutes, until golden.
• Drain on paper towels and sprinkle with sugar while still hot. Cool for at least 10 minutes before serving.

• Lay the sheet of puff pastry on a flat surface and cut into nine small squares. Spoon a tablespoon of the cream cheese mixture down the center of each square from one corner to the opposite corner. Press the blueberries into the cream cheese. Fold the sides into the center, wet the points with a little water and press tightly to seal. (Press the sides tightly together or they will open while they bake).
• Place the turnovers on the baking pan, brush with the egg white and sprinkle lightly with the sugar. (If you are making these ahead, you can cover the pan with plastic wrap and refrigerate them for up to 4 hours before baking.) Bake for 15-17 minutes until golden brown.
