• Add tomato, salt and pepper and cook five minutes. Add two tablespoons of the butter and the basil or parsley and stir. There should be about 2 1/4 cups.
• Meanwhile, coat turkey pieces with flour and shake off excess.
• Heat remaining oil and butter in a skillet large enough to hold the pieces in one layer. Put the slices in the skillet and cook on one side until golden brown, about 3 to 4 minutes. Turn slices and continue cooking about 4 to 5 minutes. Sprinkle with lemon juice.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.
• Cut the turkey breast, lengthwise, into three fillets of roughly equal thickness (each should be about half an inch thick).
• Melt butter and oil in a skillet large enough to hold all the fillets. In a bowl combine flour and salt and pepper to taste.
• When the butter foam stops sizzling, dredge the turkey fillets in the flour, shake off excess and place in the pan. Saute them for about 2 to 3 minutes a side. Remove and keep them warm in the oven.
• Deglaze the pan with the wine and juice from half the lemon. Let liquid reduce by a third. Pour a few tablespoons of the liquid into the bottom of a baking dish large enough to hold all 3 fillets.
• Lay the fillets in the baking dish. Sprinkle the mozzarella cheese over them, then lay on the prosciutto. Put a pat of butter over each and place them in a preheated 400-degree oven for about five minutes. Before serving pour any remaining liquid from the dish over the fillets and finish off with freshly squeezed lemon.
