Cook the turkey bacon: Heat a nonstick skillet over medium heat. Spray the pan lightly with olive oil cooking spray. Add the turkey bacon slices and cook for 2-3 minutes per side or until crispy. Transfer to a paper towel to drain excess oil.
Prepare the sandwich spread: In a small bowl, combine the low-fat Greek yogurt and Dijon mustard. Stir until smooth and set aside.
Assemble the sandwich base: Take one slice of whole grain bread and spread half the yogurt-mustard mixture evenly over it.
Layer the sandwich toppings: Place romaine lettuce leaves on the bread slice, followed by sliced turkey breast, cooked turkey bacon, tomato slices, and avocado slices. Sprinkle with a pinch of salt and black pepper to taste.
Top and complete the sandwich: Spread the remaining yogurt-mustard mixture on the second slice of bread and place it on top of the sandwich fillings.
Optional: Toast the sandwich in the skillet. Lightly spray the skillet with olive oil cooking spray and toast the sandwich for 1-2 minutes per side over medium-low heat until the bread is golden and crisp.
Serve immediately: Cut the sandwich in half if desired and enjoy while fresh!
