1 cup finely diced celery (include some leaves-diced)
1 (1 lb) jar 8 oz. Ragu(R) Pasta Sauce, chunky tomatoes, Garlic 'n Onion sauce

Preparation

In a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat, cook the turkey until no longer pink, breaking up the turkey while stirring. Transfer turkey, using a slotted spoon, to a large saucepan. Return skillet to medium-high heat and add bacon, onion and celery. Cook, stirring often until bacon lightly browns and onion and celery soften-about 5 to 6 minutes. Add skillet mixture to turkey then stir in the Ragu sauce, chili beans, black beans, garbanzo beans, cranberry sauce, chili powder and salt. Place saucepan over medium-high heat and stir until mixture bubbles. Reduce heat to low, cover and cook 20 minutes for flavors to blend, stirring occasionally.
Ladle chili into bowls, top with shredded cheese and cilantro leaves.
