And be sure to bake up a double batch, as they’re sure to disappear fast!I used Peanut Butter & Co. Smooth Operator, but if you’d like a little crunch in your turnovers, feel free to try Peanut Butter & Co. Crunch Time.

  • Yield:9 turnovers
  • Prep Time:40 minutes (includes 30 minutes freezing time)
  • Cook Time:10-12 minutes
  • Total Time:50-52 minutes

Ingredients

1 sheet frozen puff pastry, thawed

1 large egg 

1 tsp water 

3/4 cup Peanut Butter & Co. Smooth Operator 

3/4 cup strawberry jam 

Directions

  1. On a lightly floured surface, roll the puff pastry into a 12-inch square. Trim with a knife as necessary to get clean, straight edges. Cut the square into 9 3-inch squares 

  2. Combine the egg and water to make an egg wash. Brush each square with the egg wash. 

  3. Place a small spoonful of peanut butter and strawberry jam into the center of each square. Fold the square over on itself to create a triangle, pressing the edges together with your fingers to seal. Press the back of a fork onto the edges to seal completely. To prevent the filling from leaking during baking, make sure that no peanut butter or jam has prevented the edges from sealing. 

  4. Place the turnovers on a sheet pan lined with parchment paper and freeze for 30 minutes. Meanwhile, preheat oven to 425°F. 

  5. Remove turnovers from the freezer and use a sharp knife to cut 2 or 3 vent holes in each. Brush with egg wash and bake until golden, 10-12 minutes.

  6. Serve immediately. Turnovers are best the day they are made, but you can store them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. 

Cook Notes

You can thaw the puff pastry in the fridge overnight or at room temperature for 30 minutes. Be sure to keep it cold when you’re not working with it as warm puff pastry can be difficult to work with.
