This easy strawberry cream cheese turnover recipe is flaky and delicious. Each turnover is stuffed with cream cheese and strawberry jam. They're brushed with an egg wash to give them a golden shell.
Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a mixing bowl, add in the 4 ounces cream cheese. Using a spatula or hand mixer, mix until smooth and creamy.
Add in the 1/2 cup powdered sugar and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract. Mix until the powdered sugar is thoroughly incorporated and the cream cheese mixture is smooth. Set aside.
Unfold the thawed 1 package (13.2 ounces) puff pastry out onto a clean countertop. Cut it into 6 equal rectangles.
Put 1 1/2 to 2 tablespoons of cream cheese mixture diagonal across the piece of rectangle puff pastry.
Add 1 tablespoon of strawberry jam on top. Spread it evenly out.
Fold the puff pastry over and pinch the sides together with your fingers.
Place the turnovers on the baking sheet.
Using a fork, crimp the sides of the puff pastry to ensure they stay together.

Brush the egg wash on top of all of the turnovers.
Place into the preheated oven and bake for 27 - 29 minutes until the tops of the turnovers are golden brown.
Let cool on the baking sheet.
