Turkey and Bacon Sandwich with Arugula Mayonnaise

Procedure:

Whisk together the yolk, mustard, and ¼ teaspoon salt in a medium bowl until well blended. Continue whisking while adding the oil in a slow, steady stream to emulsify the mixture. Whisk in 2 teaspoons of the lemon juice until well blended.

Stir in the sliced arugula, basil, chives, and remaining ½ teaspoon lemon juice. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Toast the ciabatta and spread a generous layer of the arugula mayonnaise on the cut sides. On the bottom of each roll, stack the turkey, whole arugula, bacon, tomato and jalapeno. Cover with the roll tops, slice each sandwich in half, and serve immediately.
