Preheat a skillet over medium heat.
Cook the bacon strips in the skillet until crispy, approximately 5-7 minutes. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess grease.
Toast the sourdough bread slices in the same skillet or a toaster until golden brown.
While the bread is toasting, scoop out the avocado flesh, mash it with a fork, and mix in a pinch of salt and pepper.
Mix the mayonnaise and dijon mustard together in a small bowl to create a zesty spread.
Spread the mayonnaise-mustard mixture onto one side of each slice of toasted bread.
Layer the sandwich as follows: spread the mashed avocado on one slice of bread, add baby spinach leaves, cooked turkey breast, bacon strips, and tomato slices. Sprinkle with a pinch of salt and pepper for extra flavor.
Top with the second slice of bread, mustard-side down, and gently press the sandwich together.
Slice the sandwich in half diagonally, if desired, and serve immediately.
