Raspberry Lemon Turnovers Recipes

FRESH RASPBERRY TURNOVERS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F and line two large baking sheets with parchment paper.
• Stir one of the raspberry packages together with the sugar and 2 tablespoons apple juice in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Reserve the second container of raspberries.
• Cook the raspberries for about 5 minutes until the sugar is dissolved into the juice, the raspberries start to soften, and the juice comes to a simmer.
• Whisk the remaining tablespoon of apple juice with the cornstarch and add to the simmering raspberries. Cook for 1-2 minutes more, then stir in the remaining fresh raspberries.
• Unfold the thawed puff pastry sheets and cut each sheet into 4 squares.
• Brush the edges of each square with the egg wash and spoon the raspberry filling into the center of each square.
• Lift one corner of each square and carefully fold diagonally to make triangle-shaped puff pastry packets, pressing gently to seal the pastry edges.
• Transfer the turnovers to the prepared baking sheets. Brush egg wash on each turnover and sprinkle with raw sugar, if desired.
• Bake for about 20 minutes, until the pastries are puffed and golden brown. Cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before serving.

RASPBERRY LEMON LOAF

Steps:

• In a large bowl, combine the dry ingredients. In another bowl, whisk together the egg, egg whites, yogurt, oil and lemon zest. Add to the dry ingredients just until moistened. Fold in the raspberries., Transfer to an 8x4-in. loaf pan coated with cooking spray. Bake at 350° for 60-65 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Cool for 10 minutes before removing from pan to a wire rack to cool completely.

RASPBERRY TURNOVERS

Steps:

• Line a baking sheet with parchment paper; set aside. On a lightly floured work surface, unfold pastry sheet; roll out to a 12-inch square. With a sharp knife or pizza wheel (and using a ruler as a guide, if desired), cut into four equal squares. Place on prepared baking sheet; refrigerate until firm, about 15 minutes.
• In a medium bowl, stir together jam and raspberries.
• Assemble turnovers: After chilling pastry squares, spoon jam mixture in center of each square. Using a pastry brush, dampen edges with water in a 1-inch border. Fold dough in half diagonally, over filling. Press edges to seal; with a fork, crimp to make a 3/4-inch border. Brush top of pastry with water; sprinkle with the sugar. With the tip of a paring knife, cut three small slits in the top (for steam vents).
• Refrigerate until firm, about 30 minutes. Preheat oven to 375 degrees while turnovers are chilling.
• Bake until puffed and golden, about 25 minutes (some jam may bubble up through vents). Transfer baking sheet to a wire rack; cool. Serve warm or at room temperature.

RASPBERRY-RHUBARB TURNOVERS

Steps:

• Line a baking sheet with parchment paper; set aside. On a lightly floured work surface, roll out puff pastry dough to a 17 1/2-by-9 1/2-inch rectangle, about 1/8 inch thick. Using a dry pastry brush, sweep off excess flour. Using a pastry cutter or pizza wheel, trim to a 16-by-8-inch rectangle. Cut out eight 4-inch squares. Place squares on prepared baking sheet; cover with plastic wrap and chill until firm, at least 1 hour or up to 8 hours.
• In a small bowl, mix together sugar and vanilla bean seeds until well combined. Transfer to a medium bowl along with rhubarb, salt, cornstarch, lemon juice and zest; mix until well combined. Gently fold in raspberries. Let filling stand until juicy.
• In a small bowl, whisk together egg yolk and cream; set egg wash aside. Stir filling and strain, discarding excess liquid, and divide equally among the pastry squares, placing it in the center. Brush edges with egg wash. Fold dough diagonally over filling to form a triangle, and press to seal. If desired, crimp the edges using the floured tines of a fork. Place filled turnovers on a baking sheet, covered with plastic wrap, and freeze until firm, 20 to 30 minutes. The filled turnovers can be frozen for up to 3 weeks; no need to thaw before proceeding.
• Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Brush tops of turnovers with egg wash, being careful not to let it drip over the edges, as this will prevent even puffing. Sprinkle generously with sanding sugar, and bake, rotating sheet halfway through, until turnovers are puffed and deep golden, 25 to 35 minutes. Using a thin metal spatula, immediately transfer turnovers to a wire rack to cool. They are best eaten the same day they are baked.

STRAWBERRY LEMON TURNOVERS

Steps:

• Mix together 1/2 cup strawberries, 6 tablespoons sugar, water, cornstarch, and lemon juice in a small saucepan.
• Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly for five minutes.
• Remove from the heat and add the remaining berries and lemon zest.
• Let cool to room temperature.
• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.
• Roll out the puff pastry sheets until they are about 1/8 inch thick.
• Cut out twelve 3-4 inch circles with a cookie cutter or glass from the two rectangles.
• Take the twelve circles and place on ungreased cookie sheets 1 1/2 inches apart.
• Distribute the strawberry filling between the circles.
• Fold over the dough and press the edges tightly to seal.
• Brush the turnovers with the egg wash and sprinkle with the remaining tablespoon sugar.
• Bake in the preheated over for 14-18 minutes, or until golden brown.
• Serve hot or at room temperature.
