Preheat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and lightly coat the surface with non-stick cooking spray.
Add the turkey bacon slices to the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side until crispy. Remove and set aside on a paper towel to drain excess fat.
Slice the tomato into thin slices and wash the spinach. Set these aside.
In the same skillet, maintain medium heat and lightly spray again with cooking spray.
Crack the eggs into a small bowl and beat with a fork, seasoning with salt and black pepper.
Pour the beaten eggs into the skillet and let them spread evenly. Cook gently without stirring, allowing them to set slightly.
Once the edges begin to set, use a spatula to gently lift and fold the eggs in half to form an omelet. Continue cooking for another 2-3 minutes until the eggs are cooked through. Remove from skillet.
Toast the whole grain bread slices to your liking.
Spread low-fat mayonnaise evenly on one side of each slice of toasted bread.
Assemble the sandwich by layering the spinach leaves on one slice of bread, followed by the cooked eggs, tomato slices, and crispy turkey bacon. Top with the second slice of bread, mayonnaise side down.
Cut the sandwich in half, if desired, and serve immediately.
