INGREDIENTS
2 cups uncooked elbow macaroni
2 Tsp cooking oil

Salt & Pepper to taste
2 Tbsp tomato paste

DIRECTIONS
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Spray a 9 x 13-inch baking dish with cooking spray. In a large pot of boiling water, cook the pasta according to directions on the package for al dente and drain well. In a large skillet, heat oil over medium heat. Add onions and cook until soft, about 5 minutes. Stir in the garlic and cook for 30 seconds. Stir in the turkey and cook until browned, breaking apart as needed. Season with salt and pepper. Stir in the tomato paste, then add the tomatoes and mustard. Let the mixture bubble gently until it is slightly thickened, about 2 minutes. Toss the meat mixtures with the pasta and pour into prepared pan. Top with cheddar and bake until cheese is melted, about 15 minutes. Sprinkle the chopped pickles over the top and serve immediately. Great reheated the next day too.
