"Blond" French Dip Crescent Rolls w/ Chicken Au Jus

My 9 year old wanted French Dips for dinner. I didn't have a beef roast on hand and none on sale this week, but nitrate free turkey breast was on special in the deli so I decided to pick some of that up and make a "Blond" French Dip with a Chicken Au Jus......Of course you can make these "Classic" with Roast Beef and Beef Au Jus too.
