TROPICAL TURKEY SALAD

Tropical Turkey Salad image

This is the best Turkey Salad I have ever tasted! It is totally addictive! It can be eaten on a bed of greens or between slices of your favorite bread. It is best eaten after chilled in the refrigerator for a couple hours, but it can be eaten immediately after being prepared as well. Inspired by a newly adopted Zaar recipe.
