Ingredients

3 slices bacon
¾ cup onion, chopped
4 cloves garlic, chopped
1 ½ tablespoons margarine
1 bunch red-leaf kale, thick stems removed and leaves chopped
1 cup apple cider
1 tablespoon mango-habanero sauce
8 ounces precooked turkey sausage, cut into bite-sized pieces
salt to taste

Steps:

Place bacon in a large skillet and cook over medium-high heat, turning occasionally, until just crispy, about 10 minutes. Drain bacon slices on paper towels. Trim and discard half the fat from each piece. Dice remaining bacon.
Use a paper towel to wipe out skillet, leaving a light coating of bacon grease. Add onion, garlic, and margarine. Cook until onions are soft and translucent, stirring frequently, about 5 minutes. Add kale and toss until wilted, 3 to 5 minutes. Add apple cider, habanero sauce, cooked bacon, and turkey sausage. Cook, stirring occasionally, until liquid is reduced, 15 to 20 minutes. Season with salt.
