I had some pre scallopini turkey breasts at home and needed a nice way to prepare them. I didn't have the avacado and the cheddar and only had Italian panko breadcrumbs so I went more Italian flavor with this than the Cali version. However I loved the preperation method and chilling before frying the breasts was a great idea and something I will definately use in the future. I followed the recipe exact except for the toppings I was missing and instead used a little mozzerella cheese on top.My husband and I both gave this 6 stars. I will definately make again and next time with the cheddar and avacado. Thanks =)
