Greek yogurt reduces calories while maintaining creaminess

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).

Take the pre-made frozen puff pastry out of the box and pinch it together if it cracks.

Roll out the puff pastry slightly with a rolling pin.

Cut each pastry sheet into four equal squares using a sharp knife.

Cut a slice of guava paste about a quarter of an inch thick and lay it across the middle of a pastry square on a diagonal.

Layer a slice of cream cheese directly on top of the guava paste for each square.

Whisk the egg in a small bowl to create an egg wash.

Brush the egg wash along the edges of each turnover to help form a seal.

Fold each square over into a triangle, pressing down the edges.

Cut small slices across the top of each turnover to serve as heat vents.

Brush more egg wash on top to cover each turnover completely.

Repeat the process with the second sheet of pastry dough.

Place the turnovers in the oven to bake for 20 to 25 minutes until golden brown.

Let the turnovers cool completely before serving.

Optionally, sprinkle with powdered sugar before serving.
