These turnovers are a great way to use up leftover puff pastry dough. I always have some in my freezer, so it's nice to have a recipe that I can use it in.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my turnovers didn't turn out as flaky as I would have liked. They were still tasty, but not as good as I was hoping for.

I found that the guava filling was a bit too sweet for my taste. I would probably use less sugar next time.
