Tried a new meal tonight... Put jarred spaghetti sauce over packaged broccoli slaw. Added ground turkey and a few leftover green olives and artichoke hearts. Also added a side of green peas - which turned out to be the highest calorie ingredient! No matter, still low-cal. Will test out the taste at lunch tomorrow. Didn't fit great into the black trays - the slaw takes up too much space when it's raw.
Update: I liked this very much. The best part of spaghetti for me is always the sauce, so I didn't really miss the pasta. The ground turkey was good and I liked the green olives. The only modification I would make is to par-cook the broccoli slaw a bit in the microwave before assembling the meals. The raw slaw took awhile to cook, and by then the parm cheese and the peas were way past their prime...
