Turkey With Spinach, Pears, and Blue Cheese

Ingredients

2 turkey breast tenderloins (1 to 1-1/4 lb.)
1 tsp. dried sage, crushed
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 Tbsp. butter
1 6-oz. pkg. fresh baby spinach

Directions

  1. Horizontally split tenderloins to make four 1/2-inch-thick steaks.

  4. Meanwhile, in small skillet cook pear slices in remaining 1 tablespoon butter over medium to medium-high heat, stirring occasionally for 5 minutes or until tender and lightly browned.
  5. Serve steaks with spinach and pears. Top with blue cheese.
