Step 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.
Step 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.
Step 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.
Step 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.
