I messed around with the recipe, and surprisingly, adding a pound
of lean ground beef or turkey, didn't raise it up many points. Here is the recipe that I am talking about:

Brown the ground turkey and drain. Add the taco seasonings, garlic salt and stir until spices are fragrant.
Add celery and onions and cook until they are softened.
Add the remaining ingredients and bring to a boil then turn down to a simmer.

You may want to add more water so that the chili is the consistency you like.
This freezes very well.
