Pumpkin Turnovers

Looking for a way to use your leftover pumpkin puree? Try these Pumpkin Turnovers.
I made it because I had some leftover pumpkins when I made these Pumpkin Rice Pudding. This Pumpkin Turnovers is quick and easy and to kick it up a notch I drizzled it with salted caramel sauce yum! Since this was an impromptu recipe I had to improve. For the salted caramel sauce, I used a recipe I found here.
This recipe called for ground cinnamon but I didn’t have any on hand so to I put my blender to the ultimate test by grounding two cinnamon sticks. I was pleasantly surprise by the outcome.
