Ingredients

  • 4 pieces turkey breasts
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 cloves garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • 8 slices fresh mozzarella cheese, sliced
  • 2 large tomatoes, sliced
  • 8 leaves fresh basil leaves
  • 2 tablespoons balsamic glaze (optional for drizzling)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

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.

Step 3

In a small bowl, mix together the olive oil, salt, black pepper, minced garlic, and Italian seasoning.

Step 4

Brush the oil mixture evenly over both sides of the turkey breasts.

Step 5

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.

Step 6

Top each turkey breast with 2 slices of fresh mozzarella cheese and 2 slices of tomato.

Step 7

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).

Step 8

Remove the skillet from the oven and let the turkey rest for 5 minutes.

Step 9

Garnish each turkey breast with a fresh basil leaf and drizzle with balsamic glaze if desired.

Step 10

Serve immediately alongside your favorite side dishes, such as roasted vegetables or a fresh green salad.
