Gloria’s Turkey Salad

(from SallyV’s recipe box)

>>This recipe was written to take 3 days to make this salad. You could mix everything together, except the almonds and Cool Whip, and refrigerate for 12 hours.
>>This is a “sweet” pasta salad so please don’t use mayonaise.
>>This can be doubled or tripled for a large group.
