Steps:

• Adjust oven rack to lower third of oven. Heat oven to 400°F. Cover 2 large cookie sheets with cooking parchment paper; set aside.
• In medium bowl, mix blueberries, brown sugar, cornstarch, orange peel, cinnamon and allspice. Let stand 20 to 30 minutes to allow the juices to exude.
• Place 1 sheet puff pastry on work surface lightly dusted with flour. (Keep other sheet covered in refrigerator.) Use rolling pin to roll pastry sheet into 12x9-inch rectangle. Use pizza cutter to cut dough into 6 squares (don't worry if squares are uneven).
• Stir blueberry mixture well; spoon about 2 rounded tablespoons filling onto center of each pastry square, leaving about 1 inch around edges. (Don't add more filling; it will ooze out during baking and burn onto cookie sheet.) Place 2 pieces butter on each mound of filling.
• In small bowl, mix egg yolks and milk with fork. Use pastry brush or your fingertip to paint edges of each square with egg mixture. Fold each square over, corner to corner, to form a triangle. Use your fingertip to lightly press edges shut. Use fork to crimp edges. Move turnovers to a cookie sheet.
• Paint tops of turnovers with additional egg mixture and sprinkle each with 1 teaspoon granulated sugar. Cut one or two 1-inch steam vents on top of each turnover using tip of sharp knife. While the first 6 turnovers bake, repeat with remaining pastry sheet and filling.
• Bake turnovers 15 minutes or until flaky and golden. (Check after 10 minutes because they brown quickly. If they look like they may burn, cover with foil and continue baking.) Remove from oven and cool 5 minutes. Remove turnovers from parchment and place on wire rack. Serve warm or at room temperature.

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.

Steps:

• If making the dough, prepare the pie crust recipe. Divide the dough into 6 pieces and pat each one into a 1/2-inch-thick disk. Wrap in plastic and chill for at least an hour and up to two days.
• Preheat an oven to 350 F. In a large bowl, combine the blueberries, sugar, and flour. Use your hands to toss the mixture until the juice from the blueberries combines with the sugar and flour to make a sand-like mixture coating the blueberries. Set the sweetened fruit mixture aside.
• On a lightly floured surface, roll out the dough disks into 6-inch circles. Or layout prepared pie dough or puff pastry and cut into 6-inch circles.
• Put 1/6 of the filling on one side of each circle. Working with one about-to-be-turnover at a time, fold the dough over to cover the fruit to make a half-circle or half-moon shape, crimp the edges to seal it (juices are likely to leak out anyway, but it's best to minimize this as much as you can). Repeat with the remaining fruit-topped disks of dough.
• For easier cleanup, line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Place the turnovers on the baking sheet. Slash a few vents in their tops to let steam escape. Bake until the fruit is bubbling and the crust is browned, so about 50 minutes.
• Remove from the oven and let sit about 5 minutes. Then, use a spatula to transfer the turnovers to a cooling rack. Let cool to warm room temperature before eating (that fruit inside will be hot , and you don't want anyone to burn their mouths!). Variations:
