Remove the puff pastry from the freezer about 20-30 minutes before you are ready to use them and preheat the oven to 400°.
In a medium bowl combine the chopped strawberries and strawberry jam. Stir until everything is nicely combined.
Unfold both sheets of puff pastry and cut each one into 4 squares. I like to use a pizza cutter.
Add a heaping tablespoon of strawberry filling to the middle of each square of puff pastry dough.
Fold each square in half, making a triangle. Remove any filling that comes out the sides with a clean paper towel. Using the tines of a fork, crimp the perimeter of the triangle to seal the edges of the turnover. Then use the tines of the fork to poke 2-3 holes in the top of turnover to allow for steam to escape while they bake.
Bake for 18-20 minutes or until the turnovers are golden brown and the pastry is puffed. Remove from the oven and let them cool for 15-20 minutes.

While the turnovers are cooling, combine the powdered sugar, strawberry jam, 1 tablespoon of milk and corn syrup in a bowl and whisk until smooth. Add more milk how thick or thin you would like the glaze. I like the consistency to be thick enough to stay on the turnovers but thin enough to pour. The corn syrup will help the glaze set up faster. Drizzle the glaze over the turnovers.
Serve the strawberry turnovers warm or at room temperature.Store in an airtight container at room temperature or in the refrigerator for 2-3 days. They are best fresh.

Don't overfill the turnovers. It is important that you only add the amount of filling stated in the recipe. Otherwise, the turnovers will not seal correctly.
Add an egg wash to the top of the unbaked turnovers with a pastry brush. This step gives you a deep golden brown color.
Top the strawberry turnovers with a sprinkling of powdered sugar instead of strawberry glaze.
Use a different combination of fresh berries and jam. Fresh raspberries with raspberry jam, blackberries with blackberry jam or even blueberries with blueberry jam would all be delicious.
