--------  ------------  --------------------------------
   1      pound         ground turkey or ground top round
   1      cup           onion -- diced
   1      clove         garlic -- minced
   1 1/2  teaspoons     chili powder
   1      teaspoon      oregano
     1/2  cup           tomato sauce
     1/2  cup           green chiles -- diced
     1/2  teaspoon      salt
     1/4  teaspoon      pepper

Heat a large skillet over medium heat.  Add the turkey or ground round and
sear over medium heat until browned, without stirring, about 5-6 minutes.
(If using beef, pour off all fat.)  Add the onion, garlic, chili powder and
oregano and stir to break up clumps of meat.  Saute until the onion s fully
cooked, about 3-4 minutes.  Lower the heat to medium-low and stir in the
tomato sauce and chiles.  Simmer until most of the liquid has evaporated,
about 5-8 minutes.  Add salt and pepper.  Fills 8 tacos or 8 enchiladas.
