A fried turnover is a crispy, golden-brown pastry made by folding dough around a flavorful filling and frying it to perfection. Common fillings include fruits like apples, cherries, or peaches for sweet versions, and savory options like meats, cheeses, or vegetables. Originating from various cuisines worldwide, such as Latin American empanadas or Balkan burek, the fried turnover is a versatile and beloved treat. While its flaky crust provides satisfying texture, it's generally made with refined flour and fried in oil, which raises calorie and fat content. Sweet versions may also contain added sugars. On the nutrient-rich side, savory fillings can provide proteins and essential vitamins, while fruit-filled turnovers offer natural sweetness and some fiber. Moderation is key to enjoying this indulgent dish while balancing its energy-dense nature with healthier options.
