Slice the whole wheat bagel in half horizontally and toast it lightly in a toaster until golden brown.
While the bagel is toasting, slice the tomato, cucumber, and red onion into thin rings.
Once the bagel is toasted, spread 1 tablespoon of low-fat cream cheese on each half of the bagel.
Place the romaine lettuce leaves on the bottom half of the bagel to cover the cream cheese.
Layer the turkey breast slices evenly over the lettuce leaves.
Arrange the tomato slices over the turkey, followed by the cucumber slices and then the red onion rings.
Sprinkle the lemon juice evenly over the vegetables, and season with black pepper and salt to taste.
Place the top half of the bagel over the stacked ingredients to form a sandwich.
Press down gently and cut the bagel sandwich in half if desired, then serve immediately.
