Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a medium skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add chopped onion and sauté until soft, about 5 minutes.
Add the chopped spinach to the skillet and sauté for an additional 2 minutes until wilted. Remove from heat and set aside.
In the same skillet, cook the turkey bacon over medium heat until crispy, about 5-6 minutes, turning occasionally. Once cooked, remove and drain on a paper towel-lined plate. Chop into small pieces.
In a large bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, black pepper, and garlic powder until well combined.
Spread the onion and spinach mixture evenly over the bottom of the pie crust.
Sprinkle the chopped turkey bacon over the onions and spinach.
Pour the egg mixture over the ingredients in the crust, ensuring even coverage.
Top with shredded Swiss cheese, distributing evenly.
Carefully place the quiche on a baking sheet to catch any drips and transfer to the preheated oven.
Bake for 40-45 minutes, or until the filling is set and the top is lightly golden brown. A toothpick inserted in the center should come out clean.
Remove from the oven and allow the quiche to cool for at least 10 minutes before slicing.
Serve warm or at room temperature.
