Turnover (food)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A turnover is a kind of pastry made by placing a filling on a piece of dough, folding the dough over, and sealing it. Turnovers can be sweet or savory and are often made as a sort of portable meal or dessert, similar to a sandwich.
It is common for sweet turnovers to have a fruit filling and be made with a short (pie crust-like) or puff pastry dough; savory turnovers generally contain meat and/or vegetables and can be made with any sort of dough, though a kneaded yeast dough seems to be the most common in Western cuisines. Savory turnovers are often sold as convenience foods in supermarkets; the Hot Pockets brand is a popular one in the United States.
They are usually baked, but may be fried.
