Directions:Heat oven to 375º In large mixer bowl combine all pastry ingredients. Beat at low speed, scraping bowl often, until well mixed. [1 to 2 minutes.] Divide dough in half; flatten each into about a 1/2 inch thick rectangle. Wrap in plastic food wrap, refrigerate 15 minutes. Meanwhile, in small bowl, wisk egg white until foamy; set aside. In a small mixer bowl, combine all filling ingredients except raspberry preserves; beat until smooth. On lightly floured surface roll half of dough into 12x8 inch rectangle. Use a ruler to gently push in sides to keep straight. Cut into six 4 inch squares. In center of each square place 2 tsps filling and about 1 tsp raspberry preserves. Fold one corner of square over to form a triangle. Lightly brush bottom inside edges with beaten egg white. Pinch together edges to seal; crimp with fork if desired. Place on lightly greased cookie sheets. Repeat with remaining dough and filling. Brush tops with remaining egg white. Carefully prick top in 2 or 3 places with fork. Bake for 20-25 minutes or until light golden brown. Cool 10 minutes. In small bowl stir together powdered sugar, lemon juice, lemon peel and enough water for glazing consistency; spread or drizzle over turnovers. Serve warm or cooled.
