Instructions

Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
Prepare the blueberry filling: In a medium bowl, combine the blueberries, granulated sugar, cornstarch, fresh lemon juice, and pure vanilla extract; gently toss to coat and set aside.
Roll out the cold puff pastry on a lightly floured surface into a 12-inch square. Cut the pastry into 8 equal squares.
In a small bowl, whisk together the large egg and water to create the egg wash.
Place about 2 tablespoons of the blueberry filling in the center of each pastry square.
Brush the edges of each square lightly with the egg wash. Fold the squares over diagonally to form triangles, pressing the edges firmly to seal. Use a fork to crimp the edges to ensure they are well sealed.
Transfer the turnovers to the prepared baking sheets. Brush the tops with the remaining egg wash and sprinkle evenly with the coarse sugar.
Cut a small slit or two in the top of each turnover to allow steam to escape during baking.
Bake in the preheated oven for 22 to 25 minutes, or until the pastry is puffed and golden brown.
Remove the turnovers from the oven and let cool on the baking sheets for about 10 minutes before serving.

Tips

Use a sharp knife or pizza cutter to cut puff pastry squares cleanly and evenly.
A whole vanilla bean scraped into the filling can be substituted for vanilla extract for an even richer flavor.
