Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine the chopped strawberries and low-sugar strawberry jam. Cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the strawberries soften and release their juices.
Mix the cornstarch with 1 tablespoon of water to create a slurry. Add the slurry to the saucepan and stir continuously for another 2 minutes, or until the mixture thickens. Remove from heat and let it cool to room temperature.
Place one sheet of phyllo dough on a clean surface. Lightly spray with cooking spray, then layer another sheet on top. Repeat until 4 sheets are stacked, spraying each layer with cooking spray.
Cut the stacked phyllo dough into four equal rectangles using a sharp knife or pastry cutter.
Place 2 tablespoons of the cooled strawberry filling onto the center of each rectangle. Fold each rectangle in half to create a pocket, pressing the edges together. Use a fork to crimp the edges and seal the filling inside.
Repeat steps 4-6 with the remaining phyllo sheets and filling.
Place the assembled strudels onto the prepared baking sheet. Lightly spray the tops with cooking spray to help with browning.
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the strudels are golden brown and crispy.
While the strudels bake, make the glaze by whisking together the non-fat Greek yogurt, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth.
Remove the strudels from the oven and let them cool for 5 minutes. Drizzle the yogurt glaze over the top before serving. Enjoy!
