Turkey Tenderloin with Creamed Spinach and Mashed Sweet Potatoes- This recipe a lighter version of steak house classics. Instead of using beef filet mignon, I use turkey tenderloin for a steak and pair it with a delicious sauce made with shallots and demi glace. I pair the tenderloin with cream cheese creamed spinach and mashed sweet potatoes.
