How to make Blueberry Turnovers (and replace a dishwasher)

puff pastry

🥗Healthier: phyllo dough

💰Cheaper: homemade dough

Phyllo is lower in fat, and homemade dough can save costs.

blueberries

🥗Healthier: blackberries

💰Cheaper: frozen blueberries

Frozen blueberries are often less expensive and available year-round.

sugar

🥗Healthier: coconut sugar

💰Cheaper: granulated sugar

Coconut sugar is less processed but may be pricier.

powdered sugar

🥗Healthier: stevia

💰Cheaper: granulated sugar

Stevia can reduce calories while maintaining sweetness.

Thaw the frozen puff pastry in the microwave for 10 seconds on each side or leave it out for about 10 minutes at room temperature.

Cut the thawed puff pastry into four even squares.

Place some frozen blueberries in the center of each square.

Top the blueberries with about a tablespoon of blueberry jam.

Fold the pastry over to form turnovers and seal the edges.

Bake the turnovers in the oven at 400 degrees Fahrenheit for 20 minutes.

Let the baked turnovers cool completely before making the frosting.

To make the frosting, combine 1 tablespoon of butter, 1 teaspoon of vanilla, and about 2 tablespoons of heavy cream in a bowl.

Measure out about a quarter of a cup and an eighth of a cup of powdered sugar, sift it to remove lumps, and add it to the mixture.

Stir the frosting until smooth, adding cinnamon to taste if desired.

Stir the frosting again before drizzling it over the cooled turnovers.
