We Eat Chicken Eggs - Why Not Turkey Eggs?

This just popped into my head because I was freezing some turkey steaks.
No research just a huh moment!

They sound horrible. No thanks.

Presumably just yield. Turkeys take up a lot more room than chickens and 1 egg is still 1 egg. They are bigger than chicken eggs but not enough to make it worth it.

So a chicken will lay about 350 eggs a year, a Turkey only about a hundred. Also a Turkey doesn't start laying eggs until much later in its lifespan.
Apparently Turkey eggs are nicer than chicken ones though...

Because we eat loads of chicken so there's loads of them about. The real question is why aren't we eating cow eggs?

Is it because they float away and stink to high heaven?

Good question . We buy duck eggs but why not turkey eggs.

Had a mate who lived in the Falklands back in the day. He tried a penguin egg and said it was the most disgusting thing he's ever eaten. Apparently stunk and tasted of rotten fish.

Did he check the sell by date?

I’m surprised nobody has said yet…
Because you can’t ‘gobble’ an egg.
Next we’ll be having a thread about why did the chicken cross the road

You can eat turkey eggs and they don’t taste horrible at all. Indeed they are very similar to chicken eggs and with higher protein levels.

They ar incredibly expensive though as they don’t churn them out on farms. They are better hatched for Christmas delights for the farmer.

I have. It ended in tears.

If you're really hungry try an Ostrich egg.

 

[Juninhoburger]

Quail eggs, but only as a treat.

Could probably say the same with seagull eggs

I’ve had turkey egg as a kid, someone we knew bred them (for Xmas) and we tried the eggs. The owld feller fried them, remember they were big, don’t remember there being anything wrong with them.

Chickens lay eggs without the need for fertilisation. Not sure turkeys do.
