In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the whole wheat flour, baking powder, and salt.
In another bowl, mix the skim milk, egg whites, non-fat Greek yogurt, olive oil, and Dijon mustard until smooth.
Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring until just combined, taking care to not overmix the batter.
Preheat a waffle iron according to the manufacturer's instructions and lightly coat with non-stick cooking spray if necessary.
Pour the batter onto the preheated waffle iron, using about a half cup at a time. Close the lid and cook until the waffles are golden and crisp, approximately 4-5 minutes.
Carefully remove the waffles from the iron and place them on a wire rack to cool slightly.
To assemble the sandwich, layer a slice of reduced-fat cheddar cheese, followed by 2 ounces of sliced turkey breast, several spinach leaves, and a few slices of tomato on top of one waffle.
Top with a second waffle to create a sandwich, pressing gently to hold the layers together.
Repeat to make additional sandwiches with the remaining ingredients.
Serve immediately, enjoying the warm, melty cheese and the fresh flavors of the turkey and vegetables.
