Method
 

Prepare the Strawberry Filling
  1. In a medium bowl, gently toss the diced fresh strawberries with the granulated sugar, cornstarch, vanilla extract, and lemon zest. Set aside.
Prep the Puff Pastry
  1. Unfold the thawed puff pastry sheet onto a lightly floured surface. Cut into four equal squares, then cut each square in half to make eight smaller squares.
  2. Spoon about 1 1/2 to 2 tablespoons of the strawberry filling onto one half of each square, leaving a border. Fold the empty half over to form a triangle.
  3. Use a fork to firmly seal the edges. Brush the entire surface with egg wash.
Air Fry the Turnovers
  1. Preheat the air fryer to 400°F. Spray the basket lightly with non-stick cooking spray.
  2. Place 3 to 4 turnovers in the basket (do not overcrowd). Cook for 10 to 12 minutes, until golden brown and puffed.
  3. Remove and let cool on a wire rack for at least 10 minutes.
Glaze and Serve
  1. Mix powdered sugar with milk to make a glaze. Drizzle over cooled turnovers. Serve warm.
