Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and lightly grease it with olive oil or cooking spray.
Add the vegetarian bacon strips to the skillet and cook for 1-2 minutes on each side, or until crispy and golden. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
Lightly toast the bread slices in a toaster or on the skillet until golden brown.
In a small bowl, mix the mayonnaise and Dijon mustard together. Spread this mixture evenly on one side of both toasted bread slices.
Place the lettuce leaves on one slice of the bread as the base layer.
Add the tomato slices on top of the lettuce and sprinkle with a pinch of salt and black pepper for seasoning.
Layer the plant-based turkey slices evenly over the tomato, followed by the crispy vegetarian bacon strips.
Top with the second slice of bread, spread side down, to complete the sandwich.
Slice the sandwich in half if desired and serve immediately. Enjoy!
