Turnovers are much like an individual hand pie, made of flaky pastry, usually puff pastry, that is filled with a sweet or savory filling and baked or fried. They get their name because the pastry is folded over in half or “turned over” the filling and sealed shut by crimping the edges closed before baking.  Examples of savory turnovers include the empanada from South and Central America that may be filled with chopped meats, vegetables, olives, etc. or the Russian pirozhki that may be filled with meat, fish, cabbage, mushrooms, or cheese. Examples of sweet turnovers include apple turnovers filled with apple pie filling or berry turnovers filled with mixed berries such as blueberries, blackberries and strawberries.  Sweet turnovers are often drizzled with a simple glaze made of powdered sugar, vanilla and milk.
