do people eat turkey eggs?

Answer 1

Hey,I am from Turkey!!!!!!.
When I was a little child,my grandparents had lots of geese,turkeysand hens.
I remember eating them several times but not so often.Idon't think they lay eggs every day as hens. they are quite bigger than normal ones and as far as I can remember there are small brown spots on them.

Answer 2

What a great question. I've never considered Turkeys Eggs before until I read this but I certainly give them a go.

I'm guessing that there can't be too much commercial value in them which is why you don't see them in supermarkets.

I found this after doing a little search on the t'interweb -

Turkey Eggs are similar to chicken eggs, but are larger and have white to cream colored shells with brown speckles. They are approximately 1½ times larger than a jumbo chicken egg and are very high in cholesterol and fat, but the flavor is very similar. Turkey eggs are rarely available to the consumer because most of the eggs are used for hatching more turkeys, but they are sometimes available in specialty markets.

Answer 3

yes they do

Turkey and Goose Eggs taste similar to Hens eggs but are much larger. Allow about 7 minutes for a soft boil. Turkey and Goose eggs can be stored for up to four days.

Turkey eggs are not available on a commercial scale simply because there is very little demand. They are also expensive to mass-produce. Turkey hens lay an average of 4.5 eggs per week over 24 weeks. Although the runny yolk is not ideal for frying, turkey eggs are delicious scrambled and particularly lend themselves to baking for an extra fluffy texture! Many farms sell eggs at the farm gate to local shoppers.

Answer 4

jo, i note your question, and this is something i have considered for the past 3 years. where are your average turkeys eggs? i note benskis comments too, and that turkey eggs are kept for hatching. into what? more turkeys? We only want them for one day a year. we want chickens every other day. where do all the turkey eggs go? is it another massive government conspiracy?

Dont know. (Is the answer to the question!)

Answer 5

Probably but they're just not as economical to raise and sell. people can raise, keep and sell chicken eggs and make more money. Turkeys are too big and would take too much feed to raise for eggs. Just my thoughts....
