Polish Stir-Fry

tamelawak's Note:

This recipe originated as Rachael Ray's friend Jon's Polish Stir Fry, but I found out I really don't care for kale. Since I really liked the idea of a Polish Stir Fry I substituted kale with beet tops, and came out with a much better flavor (at least for me).

I was so disappointed in this recipe, the presentation was terrible and the flavor was so odd. I ended up picking the kielbasa out and tossing the rest in the garbage.
