Start to cook the bacon so that it becomes crisp. Meanwhile combine
the mayonnaise with lemon juice, garlic, turmeric, and ground cumin
and season to taste with salt and peppe. Pan grill the bread, just
until dried out or toasted; pan grill the tuna, only 3 minutes a
side, or until rare. 

Remove bacon to paper towels to drain. 

To assemble, spread each slice of bread with mayonnaise, on one side
only. Slice the tuna into thin diagonal pieces. Set some arugula on
bottom of bread, then top with bacon, peppers and tuna and bread,
mayonnaise side down; repeat and finish with third slice of bread;
repeat for the other sandwich.
