Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Place the turkey breasts on a clean cutting board. Use a meat mallet to gently pound them to an even thickness, about 1/2-inch thick.
In a small bowl, mix together the olive oil, salt, black pepper, minced garlic, and Italian seasoning.
Brush the oil mixture evenly over both sides of the turkey breasts.
Heat a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Add the turkey breasts and sear each side for about 2 minutes, until golden brown. Remove the skillet from heat.
Top each turkey breast with 2 slices of fresh mozzarella cheese and 2 slices of tomato.
Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 18-20 minutes, or until the turkey is cooked through and the cheese is melted. Internal temperature should reach 165°F (74°C).
Remove the skillet from the oven and let the turkey rest for 5 minutes.
Garnish each turkey breast with a fresh basil leaf and drizzle with balsamic glaze if desired.
Serve immediately alongside your favorite side dishes, such as roasted vegetables or a fresh green salad.
