I have been trying to figure out how to get interesting terms using the MLT  
query. Does ElasticSearch have this functionality similar to solr or if  
not, is there a work around?

You could always use explain to find out the best matching terms of any  
query. In order to get all the interesting terms, you could run a query  
where the top result document has matched itself.

Also the new significant terms might be of interest to you:
