Turkey Bacon Club Pizza

I've been racking my brain trying to come up with turkey leftover dinners.  My darling husband suggested that we just have turkey bacon club sandwiches.  That made me think.  What if I turned a turkey bacon club sandwich into a pizza.  So then I thought what kind of sauce would you put on a pizza like that?  So I decided to use mayo.  Well I was out of mayo so I decided to try to make my own.  I looked up how to make your own mayo/miracle whip.  I came up with a tweaked recipe for homemade mayo.  I added a four cheese Rosa sauce to the mayo to create my pizza sauce.  I've listed the recipes and pictures below.  I hope you enjoy this as much as we did.
