Steps:
- Special equipment: a 3 1/2-inch round cookie cutter
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Set aside.
- In a small bowl, mix together the cheese, sugar, cornstarch, lemon juice, and lemon zest until smooth. Stir in the blueberries.
- Using a 3 1/2-inch round cookie cutter, cut the pie dough into 12 circles. Place the dough on the prepared baking sheet. Using a pastry brush, lightly brush the edges of the dough with the beaten egg. Place about 1 1/2 teaspoons of the cheese mixture in the center of the dough. Fold the dough in half to enclose the filling and pinch the edges to seal. Using the tines of a fork, gently crimp the sealed edges. Refrigerate for 10 minutes.
- While the pastry is chilling: In a large heavy-bottomed saucepan, pour enough oil to fill the pan about a third of the way. Heat over medium heat until a deep-frying thermometer inserted in the oil reaches 375 degrees F. (If you don't have a thermometer a cube of bread will brown in about 3 minutes.) Fry the turnovers for 1 to 1 1/2 minutes until golden. Drain on paper towels and sprinkle with sugar while still hot. Cool for at least 10 minutes before serving.
BLUEBERRY AND MASCARPONE TURNOVERS
These are VERY addicting, my family and friends love them! I have served them for brunch and also for dessert. The original recipe calls for deep-frying them for 1 to 1/2 minutes. For health reasons, I bake them at 350 degrees for 20 to 25 minutes. Make sure you egg wash the exterior pastry prior to baking. I have also learned to not overfill the turnovers, especially if the blueberries are large. Using either Phyllo dough or puff pastry also produces good results. Other fruits such as strawberries and raspberries are delicious as well. Prep time does not include refrigeration or cooling times. This recipe is adapted from Food Network, the Giada At Home show. Hope you enjoy!

BLUEBERRY AND MASCARPONE TURNOVERS
Steps:
- In a small bowl, mix together the mascarpone cheese, sugar, cornstarch, lemon zest, and lemon juice until smooth. Stir in the blueberries.
- Using the cookie cutter, cut the pie crusts into 12 circles. Place the dough circles on a parchment paper-lined baking sheet. Using a pastry brush, lightly brush the edges of each piece of dough with the egg. Spoon about 1 1/2 teaspoons of the cheese mixture in the center of each circle. Fold the dough in half to enclose the filling and pinch the edges to seal. Using the tines of a fork, gently crimp the sealed edges. Refrigerate for 10 minutes.
- In a large, heavy-bottomed saucepan, pour enough oil to fill the pan about a third of the way. Heat over medium heat until a deep-frying thermometer inserted in the oil reaches 375°F. (If you don't have a thermometer, toss in a cube of bread; it will brown in about 3 minutes and, when it does, the oil is ready.) Fry the turnovers, turning once, for 1 to 1 1/2 minutes, until golden.
- Drain on paper towels and sprinkle with sugar while still hot. Cool for at least 10 minutes before serving.
