Add the diced strawberries and sugar to a saucepan and cook for 2-3 minutes on medium-low heat.
Mix the cornstarch and water in a small bowl and add it to the strawberries. Stir in the lemon juice and cook for another 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally until the strawberries are softened and the mixture thickens.
Take the pan off the heat and allow the strawberry filling to cool completely.
Preheat the oven to 200 C / 400 F. Line a baking tray with parchment paper.
Roll out the puff pastry dough into a large rectangle. Cut into 8 equal-sized squares or rectangles.
Place 2 tablespoons of the filling in the middle of each square or rectangle.
Fold over to form a triangle and use a fork to crimp the edges together tightly. Poke holes with a knife or fork.
Egg Wash
Beat an egg together with a tablespoon of water to make an egg wash. Brush the top of pastries with egg wash.
Bake at 200 C/ 400 F for 18-20 minutes, or until puffed and golden.
Transfer to a wire rack to cool.
Vanilla Glaze
In a small bowl, combine powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract to make a smooth and thick glaze.
Drizzle it over the turnovers and serve. Enjoy!

Notes
Adjust the amount of sugar depending on how sweet or sour your strawberries are.
The strawberry filling must be cooled completely before adding to the pastry.
Make sure you crimp the edges very tightly to prevent the filling from oozing out.
Allow the pastries to cool for at least 15 minutes before glazing them.
