Filling Preparation
- In a medium saucepan, combine diced rhubarb, hulled and quartered strawberries, granulated sugar, cornstarch, and lemon zest. Stir gently to coat the fruit evenly.
- Set the saucepan over medium heat and cook for about 5 minutes until the sugar dissolves and the mixture starts to bubble.
- Continue cooking for an additional 8–10 minutes until it thickens and coats the back of a spoon. Remove from heat and cool.
Pastry Preparation
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Roll out the refrigerated crusts on a floured surface, then cut into six equal squares.
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Assembly and Baking
- Place about 2 tablespoons of the cooled fruit filling on one half of each pastry square. Fold the pastry over and press to seal.
- Crimp edges with a fork and cut slits on top. Brush with egg wash and sprinkle coarse sugar.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 20–25 minutes until puffed and golden.
Cooling and Serving
- Let the turnovers cool on a wire rack for a few minutes before serving.
- Serve warm, optionally with vanilla ice cream.

Notes
Ensure the pastry stays cold for maximum flakiness. Adjust sugar based on the fruit's sweetness and consider adding spices for variation.
