Sourdough Turnovers With the Easiest Filling

These delicious sourdough turnovers are easy to make and much better than store-bought! Because the filling is so versatile, this recipe is great for individuals on special diets, including sugar free, vegetarian, and even vegan–just make sure your crust is vegan.

Part of what makes this recipe so great is that the filling is your favorite jam, jelly, preserve, marmalade, or pie filling! It can be store-bought or prepared and canned at home by you! My family loves turnovers with my lower sugar orange marmalade, no sugar added blueberry jam, and apple pie filling or jam, but the possibilities and variations are truly endless.

Turnover Pie Crust

As I mention in my sourdough pie crust recipe, I prepare batches ahead of time and freeze them for a later use. Every Pi Day, which falls on March 14th every year, I set a prepared, frozen pie crust in the refrigerator to thaw so all I have to do is roll the dough out, add filling, and bake! Another reason I use sourdough pie crust is because sourdough has so many benefits, which you can read about here!

If you don’t have a sourdough starter or just don’t want to make pie crust, you can use pre-made pie crust or your favorite pie crust recipe.
