Steps:
- In a medium skillet, heat oil over medium; add onions and garlic. Cook, stirring occasionally, until tender, 5 to 7 minutes. Transfer to a large bowl; mix in spinach, feta, lemon juice, and cayenne. Season filling with salt and pepper, and set aside. (Feta can be quite salty, so be sure to taste the filling before adding more seasoning.)
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees, with racks in upper and lower thirds. On a lightly floured work surface, roll out each portion of dough (still folded in thirds) into a 12-inch square; cut each into quarters to form a total of 8 equal squares.
- Dividing evenly, spoon filling onto center of each of the 8 squares. Lightly brush two adjoining edges of each square with some egg wash. Fold these edges over filling to form a triangle; press firmly to seal (dough should be tightly pressed around filling). With a floured fork, crimp edges.
- Transfer turnovers to two baking sheets; brush tops with remaining egg wash. Bake until golden and puffed, 35 to 40 minutes, rotating sheets halfway through.

EASY GREEK-STYLE SPINACH AND FETA TURNOVERS
To make it easy, purchase prepared refrigerated pizza dough or use your own favorite pizza dough recipe. You can cut this complete recipe in half to make 4 turnovers. Cooking the spinach in the microwave firstly is only optional, I prefer to use cooked spinach rather than raw, cooking it first will mellow out the strong taste of the spinach, if you do not mind a strong taste then omit this step. I have made this many times using puff pastry in place of the pizza dough!

Tips:
- For the perfect combination of flavors, use high-quality feta cheese. Look for a feta that is creamy and has a slightly tangy flavor.
- If you don't have any fresh spinach on hand, you can use frozen spinach that has been thawed and squeezed dry.
- To make the turnovers ahead of time, assemble them and then freeze them on a baking sheet. Once they are frozen, transfer them to a freezer bag and store them for up to 2 months. When you're ready to bake them, simply preheat the oven and bake them from frozen.
- Serve the turnovers with a side of tzatziki sauce or your favorite dipping sauce.

Spinach and feta turnovers are a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer or snack. They are perfect for parties or potlucks, and they can also be made ahead of time and frozen. With their flaky crust and flavorful filling, these turnovers are sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them.
