1. Prepare the ingredients: Separate the egg whites from the yolks and place the egg whites in a bowl. Slice the shiitake mushrooms thinly. Chop the green onions and set aside.
2. Preheat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add 1 tablespoon of olive oil and let it heat up for 1 minute.
3. Add the minced garlic to the skillet and sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant.
4. Add the sliced shiitake mushrooms to the skillet and cook for 4-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are softened and golden brown. Remove the mushrooms from the skillet and set aside.
5. Place the turkey bacon in the same skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until crispy. Remove from the skillet, chop into bite-sized pieces, and set aside.
6. Lower the heat to medium-low and pour the egg whites into the skillet. Season with salt and black pepper. Stir gently and continuously with a spatula until the egg whites are just set but still soft, around 2-3 minutes.
7. Add the cooked mushrooms and turkey bacon back into the skillet with the scrambled egg whites, stirring to combine. Cook for an additional 1 minute to warm everything through.
8. Remove the skillet from the heat and transfer the mixture to serving plates. Garnish with chopped green onions and serve immediately.
