Ingredients

  • 4 links Italian sausages
  • 1 cup fresh cranberries
  • 1 whole orange
  • 4 cups kale
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tbsp honey

Instructions

  1. 1

    Heat a grill or grill pan over medium-high. Grill the 4 sausages, turning often, until browned and cooked through (internal temp 160°F), about 12-15 minutes.

  2. 2

    While sausages cook, zest and juice the orange. In a small saucepan, combine the orange zest, 2 tbsp juice, 1 cup cranberries, and 1 tbsp honey. Cook over medium, stirring, until cranberries burst and sauce thickens, about 5-7 minutes.

  3. 3

    In a large bowl, massage the 4 cups kale with 2 tbsp olive oil and a pinch of salt until leaves are tender and slightly wilted, about 2 minutes.

  4. 4

    Slice the grilled sausages on the bias. Serve over the kale, topped with the warm cranberry-orange sauce and extra orange slices if desired.
