Sweet Onion Turnovers

Making these delightfuly turnovers is my favorite way to use onions. They're lovely for lunch. The pastry dough for the rich tender crust is easy to work with, and the filling is so good. -Doris Crouse Sheridan, Whyoming

2 cups all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon sugar
3/4 teaspoon salt
3/4 cup plus 3 tablespoons cold butter, divided
1/3 to 1/2 cup cold water
6 cups thinly sliced sweet onion
1-1/2 teaspoons minced fresh rosemary
1-1/2 teaspoons minced fresh thyme
1/2 cup chicken broth
1/8 teaspoon coarsely ground pepper
2 eggs
1/4 cup heavy whipping cream

In a bowl, combine the flour, sugar and salt; cut 3/4 cup butter
