Ingredients
- Frozen Puff Pastry Sheets (I used 8)
- 500g (1.1lbs) - Frozen Mixed Berries
- ⅓ Cup (80g) - Caster (Fine) Sugar
- 1 - Lemon, Juice Only
- 1 - Free Range Egg, Beaten
- Vegetable Oil (Enough To Fill Pan By ½)
- Ice Cream To Serve
- Mint To Serve
- Fresh Berries To Serve
Cinnamon Sugar
- ½ Cup (120g) - Caster (Fine) Sugar
- 1 ½ Tbsp (13g) - Ground Cinnamon
Instructions
- To make the cinnamon sugar, combine both the caster (fine) sugar and ground cinnamon in a bowl, mix and set aside.
- In a saucepan, add the frozen berries, caster (fine) sugar & lemon juice. Place over high heat, stir and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium and simmer for 10-12 minutes or until thick and syrupy. Remove from heat and allow to cool.
- Slice the puff pastry sheets into 4 even-sized squares (see video for a recommendation) & evenly divide the cooled berry compote slightly off centre in each sheet. Fold over the corner of the pastry toward the opposite side to create a triangle & press the edges firmly with a fork to seal them up.
Baked
- Preheat the oven to 200°c - 390°f. Line a baking tray with parchment paper.
- Brush the sealed turnovers with egg wash and sprinkle with cinnamon sugar to create a nice crust.
- Place the turnovers onto the prepared baking tray and bake in the oven for 14-15 minutes or until golden.
Fried
- Pour enough vegetable oil into a large high rimmed pan or pot to fill it by half. Heat the oil to 180°c - 350°f.
- Place the sealed turnovers into the freezer for a minimum of 1 hour or up to 4 months. Once frozen, fry the turnovers for 2-3 minutes, or until golden and puffed, turning halfway. Remove and place onto a wire rack to drain. Dust with cinnamon sugar whilst hot.
To Serve
- Serve both the baked & fried turnovers with ice cream, fresh berries, mint and icing sugar. Dig in.

Recipe Notes
Turnover Storage Instructions
Once they’ve been cooked, turnovers won’t store well, and it’s not recommended to do so as they’ll be soggy once reheated. If you want to keep these, they can be stored in the freezer uncooked for up to 6 months, and it’s the perfect way to have these on hand whenever you’d like a quick, easy dessert.
Turnover Reheating Instructions
The same principle applies to reheating turnovers; doing so is not recommended, as they will become extremely soggy and tough. In a worst-case scenario, if you want to reheat them, heat them in bursts in the microwave for 45 seconds or until warm in the centre.
