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.

Tips:
- Use fresh spinach: Fresh spinach has a more vibrant flavor and texture than frozen spinach.
- Wilt the spinach properly: Wilting the spinach removes excess moisture and helps to prevent the turnovers from becoming soggy.
- Season the spinach filling generously: The spinach filling should be well-seasoned with salt, pepper, and other herbs and spices to taste.
- Use a variety of cheeses: A combination of cheeses, such as mozzarella, ricotta, and Parmesan, adds richness and flavor to the turnovers.
- Roll the turnovers tightly: Tightly rolling the turnovers helps to prevent them from leaking during baking.
- Bake the turnovers until golden brown: The turnovers should be baked until they are golden brown and the filling is hot and bubbly.
