What do you mean by the turn signal being slow? And is it just on right turns only, is the left signal functioning normally? What about the hazard lights? Are they coming on just fine?

If you suspect alternator, you need to go to an autop parts store (Autozone, CSK/O'Reilly, and the sorts) and have them check your electrical system. They will go out to the vehicle, and test your battery, starter, and alternator. Most of them will be this for free.
