Eric's Turkey Red Grape Salad- My way

I have many cookbooks but sometimes it is easy and more efficient to find a recipe via Google and the internet. I made this recipe from two other ones I selected while browsing the internet on cooks.com. Here is my version and the two others that you can use. Let me know if you try them or your own spins on these. My Eric’s Turkey salad I rated 9.2/10 good for this winter but possibly for spring/summer chicken or turkey salad. I like the horseradish taste of the wasabi (use regular horseradish if you don't have it) with the orange pieces and the crunch of the almonds and the red cabbage.
