Rhubarb and Strawberry Turnovers

Craving a sweet treat? Try these Rhubarb and Strawberry Turnovers! They’re stuffed with a sweetened rhubarb-strawberry mixture and baked to golden brown perfection.

Strawberry Rhubarb Turnovers

Isn’t it amazing how the flavors of rhubarb and strawberry complement each other so well? I would have loved to have been the person who first said, “Yes! Let’s combine strawberries and rhubarb!” and then went on to receive all the accolades for such a genius food combination.

Strawberry Rhubarb Turnovers

I’m not sure exactly what it is about the rhubarb-strawberry combo that’s so perfect (and trust me, I’ve spent time pondering it… usually while biting into a slice of strawberry-rhubarb pie), but it just works.

I think it has something to do with how the natural sweetness of strawberries brings forward the flavor of rhubarb while muting its natural tartness. A little added sugar (in the case of these Rhubarb and Strawberry Turnovers, 1/4 cup) definitely helps the combination out.

Strawberry Rhubarb Turnovers

I have to admit that rhubarb is on my mind a lot lately because I have a glut of rhubarb at the moment. I tried to grow rhubarb for 4 years without much luck, but my rhubarb plant finally took 2 years ago and now I have all the rhubarb. (Hundreds of stalks! That’s not an exaggeration.) I’m always looking for new rhubarb recipes, and I can certainly say that these Rhubarb and Strawberry Turnovers don’t disappoint.

Strawberry Rhubarb Turnovers

Fun fact about rhubarb: rhubarb is technically a vegetable, but was legally declared a fruit in 1947 in the U.S. by a New York court judge. The reason? It’s primarily eaten as a dessert; thus, it’s a fruit.

I actually consider Rhubarb and Strawberry Turnovers more of a sweet breakfast or brunch food, but they are certainly perfect for dessert, too. If you find yourself with a glut of rhubarb or just want an amazing breakfast, brunch, or dessert, give this Rhubarb and Strawberry Turnovers recipe a try!

    These look delicious! When I was a kid, my mom used to make all kinds of rhubarb pies. This brings back some nice memories.

    Saving this for later! I love the combination of strawberry and rhubarb anything, and this seems a lot easier than making a pie!
