Health benefits of Pecan Crusted Turkey Tenderloin with Sweet Potatoes

Cinnamon is one of the best ingredients that someone with insulin sensitivity can eat. Half a teaspoon of cinnamon per day has been shown to be very effective at normalizing blood sugar levels. Cinnamon contains hydroxychalcone, which is thought to enhance the effects of insulin. It has also been suggested that Cinnamon prevents post-meal blood sugar spikes by slowing the gastric emptying rate - meaning that food digests slowly. (Reference: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/11506060).

Nonstick cooking spray
1 egg
2 egg whites
1 tsp garlic powder
1/2 tsp ground black pepper
2 oz pecan chips
1 (24-oz) turkey breast tenderloin
2 (6-oz) sweet potatoes, peeled and cut into wedges (about 18 wedges per potato)
1 Tbsp olive oil
1/2 tsp cinnamon
2 Tbsp Splenda Brown Sugar Blend
