Remove from heat and let cool for 20 minutes.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Prepare the Baking Sheets:<\/strong>\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Line 2 large baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.

In a small bowl, whisk together the egg and milk. Brush the egg wash over each chilled turnover. Cut 2-3 small steam vents into the tops.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Bake the Turnovers:<\/strong>\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Bake for 23-25 minutes or until golden brown.
