Strawberry Turnovers

Strawberry Turnovers

12 slices thin, soft white bread, crusts removed
1 pint strawberries, washed and chopped
6 tablespoons strawberry jam
Zest from 1 lemon
6 tablespoons butter, melted for brushing
Sour cream and powdered sugar for garnish


In a bowl combine strawberries, jam, and zest. Flatten bread with the palm
of your hand or a rolling pin. Mound 1 heaping tablespoon of the strawberry
mixture on the center of the bread. Fold bread over strawberries to form a
triangle. Brush both sides with melted butter. Place the turnovers on a
sheet tray and bake in a 400 degree oven for about 5 minutes per side until
golden. Dust with powdered sugar and serve with sour cream.

Variation: Spread center of bread with 1
teaspoon of peanut butter plus strawberry mixture
