Cook the bacon in a skillet over medium heat until crispy, about 8-10 minutes. Transfer to a plate lined with paper towels to drain the excess grease, then crumble into bite-sized pieces.
Wash and dry the romaine lettuce, then chop it into bite-sized pieces. Place it in a large mixing bowl.
Halve the cherry tomatoes, thinly slice the red onion, and dice the cooked turkey breast into bite-sized chunks. Add them to the bowl with the lettuce.
Prepare the dressing by whisking together the mayonnaise, sour cream, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper in a small mixing bowl until smooth and creamy.
Add the crumbled bacon and croutons to the salad.
Drizzle the dressing over the salad and toss gently to ensure all ingredients are evenly coated.
Divide the salad into four serving bowls or plates and serve immediately.
