Step 1

Cut each turkey breast on the bias and on the diagonal into 3/4-inch-thick slices.

Step 2

Place each piece between two pieces of waxed paper or plastic wrap.

Step 3

Combine the panko, oregano, lemon zest and Grana Padano; season with salt and pepper in a third bowl.

Step 7

Dip both sides of the turkey slices in the flour, shaking off the excess.

Step 8

Next, dip the slices in the beaten eggs, letting the excess drain off.
