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. Cook's Notes: You can use precooked chicken in place of the turkey sausage, if you prefer. You can use cayenne pepper in place of the mango-habanero sauce, if you prefer.
