It's Friday! Eeeep! To celebrate, I am sharing the easiest, most scrumptious breakfast treat evaaaah. Strawberry Turnovers! I feel like most people {including myself} forget that turnovers even exist. Like, I've had a blog for 5 years and I have no other turnover recipes because I forgot that they are a thing. Sorry. However, I am here to apologize to the humble turnover because it's kind of the greatest food ever. I mean, what else can you whip up in 20 minutes flat with TWO ingredients? Nothing, I tell ya. At least, nothing this good. And no, ramen and water do not count.
I'm honestly so happy with how these came out, especially considering the fact that they are the product of two random things that have been in my fridge/freezer for-EVER. I've had a single sheet of puff pastry in my freezer since Thanksgiving from when I made Baked Brie {I know, I'm ridiculous}, and I have like 4 different jars of berry jams in my fridge from various recipes. I decided to use strawberry this time since it's a huge jar and I've had it since I made this life-changing Peanut Butter and Jelly Banana Bread, but I also have blueberry jam from that birthday cake I made, and raspberry jam from these Valentine's Day brownies. Not to mention freaking pumpkin butter from this braided bread. I'm telling you, my fridge is where all the half-empty jars of jam go to die.
So, I know you're curious about the 2-ingredient part of this recipe. I wasn't lying. All you need is puff pastry and strawberry jam {or whatever other jam floats your boat}, and that's IT! Okay, well you also need a little bit of water to seal the edges. And you can sprinkle some powdered sugar on top. But seriously, those hardly count. These take less than 30 minutes from start to finish, and there is seriously nothing better than biting into a flaky, buttery, impossibly light turnover stuffed with sweet strawberry jam. Oh, and BONUS, most storebought puff pastry is vegan so, guess what? You, too, can share with your vegan best friend. Wheee! Pretty sure at this point, I should just start an "accidentally vegan" category, no?

Ohh! I love how easy these are! Sometimes I have leftover puff pastry from a recipe that only calls for one sheet, and I never know what to do with it! Now I do. 🙂
