Cook the raspberries for about 5 minutes until the sugar is dissolved into the juice, the raspberries start to soften, and the juice comes to a simmer.

Unfold the thawed puff pastry sheets and cut each sheet into 4 squares.

6 . Stage

Brush the edges of each square with the egg wash and spoon the raspberry filling into the center of each square.

Transfer the turnovers to the prepared baking sheets. Brush egg wash on each turnover and sprinkle with raw sugar, if desired.

Bake for about 20 minutes, until the pastries are puffed and golden brown. Cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before serving.
