turnover definition and meaning

What is "turnover"

A turnover is a type of pastry that is made by folding a piece of dough over a filling of sweet or savory ingredients, such as fruit, cheese, or meat, and then baking until golden brown. The pastry is typically made from a flaky dough, such as puff pastry, that is rolled out and then cut into circles or squares. The filling is then placed on one half of the dough circle or square, and the other half is folded over to encase the filling. The edges of the pastry are then crimped or pressed together to seal the filling inside. Once baked, turnovers have a crispy, flaky exterior and a warm and flavorful filling. They are often served as a snack or light meal, and can be enjoyed either warm or at room temperature.
