Our first P3 meal was Spaghetti & Tomato Sauce with Meatballs and Italian Sausage made from Turkey. It was delicious! It was also completely guiltless when we were eating the pasta as it was made with White Shirataki Noodles (Miracle Noodles) -- 0 carbs, 0 calories, gluten free, sugar free, starch free, etc, etc! The total calorie count for my dinner was 470 -- that included the gluten free and sugar free three cheese tomato sauce (Fresh & Easy - 90 calories), 3 tablespoons of grated fresh Parmesan cheese (Fresh & Easy - 60 calories), 1 turkey Italian Sausage link (Jennie O - 160 calories), and 4 meatballs made from the following: turkey, melba toast, egg white, Romano/Parmesan grated cheese, fresh parsley, fresh minced garlic, and black pepper (Jennie O - 40 calories each). Watch the sodium intake if you use flavored Turkey meats from Jennie O and other manufacturers. The sodium in one serving of regular ground Turkey is 75mg while the sodium in Italian Sausage or Italian flavored ground Turkey is 680-682mg in a serving!
Here are photos of the process:
First, cooking the meat up in the frying pan and I may say not even an ounce of olive oil was harmed in the making of this meat:
Here we are with the meat cooked and mixed with the tomato sauce:
Now on to making the noodles (remove from package and rinse well 1-2 minutes). 
Mix about 1/2 your sauce serving with the noodles to get them warm and tasting like the sauce:
Now add the remaining 1/2 serving of your sauce and add the meat:
The final photo of dinner showing the salad we prepared as well but were too full from the Spaghetti & Tomato Sauce w/ Turkey Meatballs and Italian Sausage, to even eat the salad. Total calories = 470
