Season the turkey cutlets with salt and pepper on both sides. Set aside.
Set up a breading station with three shallow bowls: one with the flour, one with beaten eggs and milk, and one with the panko breadcrumbs mixed with Italian seasoning.
Dredge each turkey cutlet in the flour, shaking off the excess. Dip into the egg mixture, coating completely, and then press into the panko breadcrumb mixture to coat evenly. Place the breaded cutlets on a plate until ready to cook.
Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add the olive oil and butter, letting them melt together.
Cook the turkey cutlets in batches, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan. Cook for 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown and the internal temperature reaches 165Β°F (74Β°C). Transfer cooked cutlets to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
Sprinkle the freshly grated Asiago cheese over the warm cutlets while still hot, allowing it to slightly melt.
Serve the cutlets immediately with a lemon wedge on the side for added flavor.
