1. Combine the tofu, turmeric, 1/2 teaspoon black pepper, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and cayenne in a medium bowl. Toss well to combine and set aside.
2. Heat the oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the scallion whites and cook, stirring, until soft, about 1 minute. Add the tofu mixture and cook, stirring occasionally, until the tofu is lightly browned and resembles scrambled eggs, about 5 minutes.
3. Add the spinach, lemon juice and remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt and stir until the spinach is wilted, about 1 minute. Add the tomatoes and scallion greens and stir until the tomatoes are just heated through and begin to soften, about 1 minute. Remove from the heat, add the basil and stir to combine. Season with additional salt and pepper, if desired.
