Strawberry Turnovers are quick and easy to make pastries, with delicious sweet and tart filling on the inside, crispy and flaky texture on the outside.
I love fresh strawberries and make the best use of it when it is in season. Plus my obsession with puff pastry continues 🙂 This delectable combination of strawberries and puff pastry is completely a wonderful match that everyone will love. The natural strawberry flavor with flaky puff pastry is a WOW factor in every single bite.
These are perfect for morning breakfast or even for weekend party. They travel easily in zip-lock bags or lunch boxes, making it perfect for any holiday gathering, picnic, and potlucks where you can substitute desserts, plates and forks with these yummy turnovers. All you have to do is pick them and eat 🙂 I am sure you cannot stop having one. Depending on the season you can use any other berries or fruit of your choice.
