Cook bacon in a sauté pan until crisp; transfer to a paper towel-lined plate, reserve drippings in pan. Cook kielbasa in drippings over medium-high heat, until browned, 3 minutes; transfer to plate with bacon.
Add onions to pan; sauté until beginning to brown, 5 minutes. Add garlic; sauté until fragrant, 30 seconds.
Deglaze pan with Riesling; cook until nearly evaporated, 3–4 minutes. Stir in broth, juniper berries, caraway seeds, and bay leaf; bring to a boil.
Add sauerkraut, nestle potatoes and carrot pieces into sauerkraut; top with bacon and kielbasa. Cover pan, reduce heat to medium-low, and simmer Choucroute Garnie for 30 minutes; discard juniper berries and bay leaf.
Season Choucroute Garnie with salt and pepper; serve with mustard.
