Kale and Turkey Bacon Gratin

1. Heat oven to broil. 2. In a deep oven-proof skillet, bring a few inches of water to a boil. Add kale and cook over medium-high heat until tender, about 6 minutes. Drain and pat dry. 3. Wipe the skillet dry and return to medium-high heat. Add bacon and cook until crispy, 4-5 minutes. Transfer bacon to a plate. 4. Add onion and garlic to the pan, reduce heat to medium, and cook, stirring, until onion is softened, about 7 minutes. 5. Return bacon to the pan and add half-and-half. Bring to a simmer and cook until slightly reduced, about 5 minutes. 6. Season with pepper to taste. Add kale and stir to combine. 7. Sprinkle evenly with cheese. Broil for 2 to 3 minutes, or until cheese is lightly browned.
