Breaded Turkey Cutlets With Asiago image

The asiago replaces Parmesan in the original recipe. You can use Parmesan if you want. Remember, it's important to use freshly grated not pre-grated cheese. From a local source. Low in fat! PS> I've also prepared this with boneless chicken breasts. If you want, the Italian seasoning can be replaced with one half teaspoon dried sage.
