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.
