Slice the whole grain bagel in half and lightly toast it in a toaster or oven.
While the bagel is toasting, heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add the turkey bacon slices and cook for 3-4 minutes on each side until crispy. Remove and set aside on a paper towel-lined plate to absorb any excess oil.
In the same skillet, add the baby spinach and saute for about 2 minutes until just wilted. Remove from heat.
Bring a small pot of water to a simmer. Add a pinch of salt to the water. Crack the eggs into a small bowl and gently slide them into the simmering water to poach. Cook for about 3-4 minutes until the whites are set but the yolks are still runny. Remove with a slotted spoon and set aside.
Mash the avocado in a small bowl with salt, black pepper, and lemon juice.
Slice the tomato into thin rounds.
To assemble the sandwich, spread the mashed avocado on both halves of the toasted bagel. Place the wilted spinach on the bottom half, followed by the tomato slices, turkey bacon, and poached eggs. Top with the other half of the bagel.
Serve immediately and enjoy your heart-healthy bagel sandwich!
