Ingredients
  

Crust

  • ½ cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 tbsp sugar
  • 1 ounce 1/3-less-fat cream cheese (2 tbsp)
  • 1 tbsp butter
  • 1 dash salt
  • 1 tbsp ice water

Filling

  • cup blueberries
  • 1 ½ tbsp sugar
  • 1 tsp cornstarch
  • 1 tsp lemon rind grated
  • 1 tsp lemon juice fresh
  • 1 egg white lightly beaten
  • cooking spray
  • 1 tsp sugar divided

Instructions
 

  • To prepare crust, lightly spoon flour into a dry measuring cup; level with a knife.  Place flour, 2 tablespoons sugar, cream cheese, butter, and salt in a food processor; pulse 5 times or until mixture resembles coarse meal.  With processor on, add ice water through food chute, processing just until combined (do not form a ball).  Press the mixture gently into a 3-inch circle on heavy-duty plastic wrap; cover with additional plastic wrap.  Chill for 15 minutes.
  • Preheat oven to 400o.
  • Divide dough into 4 equal portions; place each portion between 2 sheets of plastic wrap.  Roll each portion into a 5-inch circle.  Place dogh in freezer for 5 minutes or until the plastic wrap can be easily removed.
  • To prepare filling, combine bleberries and next 4 ingredients (blueberries through juice) in a bowl.  Working with 1 dough portion at a time, remove plastic wrap from dough.  Place dough on a lightly floured surface, and brush with egg white.  Spoon about 2 tablespoons blueberry filling onto half of circle.  Fold dough over filling, and press the edges together with a fork to seal.  Place the turnover on a foil-lined baking sheet coated with cooking spray.  Lightly coat turnover with cooking spray, and sprinkle with 1/4 teaspoon sugar.  Pierce the turnover with a fork.  Repeat procedure with remaining dough, egg white, filling, and sugar.
  • Bake at 400o for 15 minutes or until lightly browned.  Remove from pan, and cool on a wire rack.
