Ingredients Needed

• Frozen puff pastry sheets: Thawed for easy handling
• Fresh or frozen blueberries: Rinsed and patted dry
• Granulated sugar: To sweeten the blueberry filling.
• Cornstarch: To thicken the blueberry mixture slightly
• Lemon juice: Freshly squeezed for a bright flavor
• Vanilla extract: For aromatic sweetness in the filling
• Egg: Beaten for brushing the pastry golden
• Powdered sugar: For optional glaze or topping

Recipe Variations

• Canned Blueberry Pie Filling Variation: For a super quick version, swap fresh blueberries for canned blueberry pie filling. It’s already sweetened and thickened, making assembly faster without sacrificing flavor.
• Gluten-Free Puff Pastry Variation: Use gluten-free puff pastry to make these turnovers safe for gluten-sensitive diets. The texture stays flaky and buttery while keeping them allergy-friendly.

How To Make Easy Air Fryer Blueberry Turnovers

Step One: In a small saucepan, combine blueberries, granulated sugar, and lemon zest. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the blueberries release their juices. In a separate bowl, mix cornstarch with water to create a smooth slurry, then gradually stir it into the blueberry mixture until it thickens.

Step Two: Place the thawed puff pastry sheets on a lightly floured surface or a parchment-lined baking sheet. Use a knife or pizza cutter to slice each sheet into squares or rectangles, depending on your desired size.

Step Three: Spoon a generous portion of the blueberry filling into the center of each puff pastry square.

Step Four: Fold the puff pastry over the filling to create a triangle or rectangle, depending on your cut. Press the edges firmly to seal, and use a fork to crimp them for extra security. Optional: brush the inside edges with egg wash for a stronger seal.

Step Five: Beat an egg and brush it over the tops of each turnover to give them a shiny, golden finish when baked.

Step Six: Preheat the air fryer to 375°F (190°C) for 1–2 minutes. Arrange the turnovers in a single layer in the basket, making sure they aren’t touching—cook in batches if needed. Air fry for 8–10 minutes, or until the turnovers are puffed and golden brown.

Easy Air Fryer Blueberry Turnovers Recipe Tips

• Thaw Puff Pastry Properly – Make sure your puff pastry is fully thawed but still cold. This prevents tearing and helps it puff evenly in the air fryer.
• Don’t Overfill – Spoon just enough blueberry filling to avoid leaks. Too much can cause the turnovers to burst while cooking.
• Seal Edges Well – Use a fork to crimp the edges or brush lightly with egg wash inside the fold. This keeps the filling inside and creates a pretty finish.
• Air Fry in Batches – Avoid overcrowding the basket. Give each turnover space so it can puff and brown evenly.
• Check for Doneness Early – Air fryers vary in temperature, so start checking a minute or two before the end of the cook time. You want golden brown, not burnt.
• Serve Warm – Blueberry turnovers taste best fresh out of the air fryer. Let them cool just enough to handle safely.
• Optional Glaze – Drizzle a simple powdered sugar glaze or dust with icing sugar for a sweet finishing touch.

Storing and Reheating Instructions

• Storing Instructions: Let the turnovers cool completely before storing to prevent sogginess. Keep them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days or in the fridge for up to 4 days.
• Reheating Instructions: Reheat in the air fryer at 350°F (175°C) for 3–5 minutes until warm and crisp. Alternatively, warm in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 5–7 minutes for best results.

Easy Air Fryer Blueberry Turnovers Recipe Faqs

Can I use frozen blueberries instead of fresh? Yes! Just thaw them first and drain any excess liquid so your turnovers don’t get soggy.

Can I make these turnovers gluten-free? Absolutely! Swap the regular puff pastry for gluten-free puff pastry; the cooking time stays the same.

Can I use canned blueberry pie filling? Yes, canned filling works perfectly. Spoon it directly onto the puff pastry squares and skip the step of cooking fresh berries.

How do I prevent the turnovers from leaking? Make sure to seal the edges tightly using your fingers or a fork. Brushing the inside edges with a little egg wash helps create a stronger seal.

Can I make these ahead of time? You can assemble the turnovers ahead and store them in the fridge for a few hours before air frying. For longer storage, freeze them uncooked and air fry directly from frozen (add 1–2 extra minutes).

Can I make a bigger batch in the air fryer? You may need to cook in batches depending on your air fryer size. Avoid overcrowding the basket to ensure even cooking and puffing.
