Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the finely diced onion and minced garlic, cooking until softened, about 3-4 minutes.
Add the ground beef to the skillet and cook, breaking it up with a wooden spoon, until browned and fully cooked, about 6-8 minutes. Drain any excess fat if necessary.
Stir in the ketchup, brown sugar, Worcestershire sauce, yellow mustard, salt, and black pepper. Cook for another 2-3 minutes until the mixture is thick and well combined. Remove the skillet from heat and let the mixture cool slightly.
On a lightly floured surface, roll out the thawed puff pastry and cut it into 8 equal squares.
Place a heaping tablespoon of the Sloppy Joe mixture in the center of each pastry square. Fold the squares diagonally to create triangles and press the edges together with a fork to seal.
Transfer the turnovers to the prepared baking sheet. Brush the tops with the beaten egg to ensure a golden, glossy finish.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the puff pastry is golden brown and puffy.
Allow the turnovers to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before serving. Serve warm and enjoy!
