Recipe - Broccoli Slaw Spaghetti

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...
