We have a friend down the road who gives us duck eggs once in awhile. And that caused me to think about turkey eggs. Much like the description of turkey eggs, duck eggs do have more difficult shells and membranes and the egg yolk has a creamier texture. I boil the eggs for a quick breakfast every morning and because of their thicker membrane, they peel more easily. The cell with the membrane stays in one piece more easily so it's easier to peel

When I was a kid in the 50s we raised turkeys(up to 4000 a year) almost as a crop as demand was very seasonal. We “planted” the eggs in an incubator in the spring and shipped them out (frozen and ready to cook) in the fall. We never ate the eggs whole but angel food cake from turkey egg whites was a staple on the table. I didn’t appreciate that angel food cake was somewhat special until years later.

I saw the title and was like "Wait......why DON'T we eat them?!" Come to find out we DO eat them, but they're not nearly as profitable as chicken eggs. Today I learned.

I live in Arkansas and we have lots and lots of turkeys, think Tyson foods. I eat turkey eggs on a regular basis and have a dozen in my fridge right now. Had two this am. I get them from a woman who raises chickens and turkeys for eggs and sells them. Her sister works for me and gives them to me on a regular basis as they are laying. They are delicious. They are hard to get into. Shell is thicker and you just hit it harder that's all for the shell. The more complex part is the inner lining that surrounds the white and yolk. That is one tough membrane and getting used to breaking it without breaking the yolk takes practice. So I scrambled eggs a lot more then frying them at first or omletts. If you can get them, get them they are very good and nothing like duck eggs at all. Duck eggs are fishy tasting because ducks EAT fish. Turkeys eat same things as chickens. Which means turkey good, duck bad. Unless you're in eastern Arkansas duck hunting and run across some, then worth eating at camp for a change of pace.

From duck eggs I only tried the eggs of an Indian runner duck.. they are not very different from chicken as the duck also consume what a regular chicken eats

Turkey eggs are great they bigger, almost twice the size, and creamier than chicken eggs - pretty similar to Duck eggs (I prefer the Duck eggs its tastier). It's a myth they only produce 3 a week once the initial laying starts they produce at the same rate as a chicken hen, once a day. The yolk is in a larger proportion to the white than a chicken egg so if you prefer that you're in luck. If you're a body builder and eat eggs for the white maybe stick to chickens. The shells are quite a bit stronger, you can drop them and they won't break and when you do crack them open the yolk rarely bursts because it has a thicker membrane to protect it. There's really no reason other than the fact we're used to chicken eggs that we don't eat them and its a pity because if we did the price would be cheaper cent for cent - there's much less wastage. Unlike chicken eggs where I always feel I need at least 2 to make it a worthwhile breakfast you only need the one. Give them a go you'd be surprised I bet someone in your wider neighborhood has them.

My grandfather raised turkeys. At Easter he would poke holes in the top and bottom of the egg and blow the contents out into a bowl. Then we would color the eggs and when they were dry he would hang them from the Chandelier in the dining room. My grandmother used the eggs for baking and scrambling.

When I was a kid, many years ago, we lived in a rural area where there were many small farms. One of them raised a few dozen turkeys and had turkey eggs for sale. My folks bought a number of turkey eggs and everything in this video described them perfectly. We used them in meals where we would normally use chicken eggs and they did have a slightly richer taste. I liked them and was always glad to see them arriving at our house. These days, we have a neighbor who raises some domestic turkeys. Last year, a wild turkey hen showed up and mated with one of her Toms. That resulted in seeing her strutting around our rural neighborhood, followed by 9 or 10 chicks. It was amazing at just how fast they grew! We see and hear them from time to time and they seem to be used to being around people.

We had turkeys,ducks, geese, and chickens. They all taste the same if they are fed the same food. The duck, turkey and goose eggs have a tougher shell,s and tougher egg white. They dont do well boiled, but if you beat it with a liquid, like water or mild, they make great omlets, scrambled eggs and are perfect in baked goods! As a kid, many years ago, I went from door to sell eggs to earn money to buy a bike. Many of my customers loved the duck and turkey eggs and looked forward to my deliveries.

I've always wondered this! Thanks for the video.

They say the same thing about duck eggs...for a couple years, when i was a kid, we had more ducks than chickens, and the chicken eggs were sold to the neighbours...which meant that we ate duck eggs. A lot. And used them for cooking. A lot. Way better than chick eggs, except for the shell, especially for baking...whatever it is that eggs do for cakes and quiche and bread, ducks do it better than chickens. My Mum was a victim of her own marketing...every neighbour that was appalled at the thought of eating a duck egg was finally convinced to try them...and then they prefered those to chicken eggs. So, we were back to eating the chicken eggs and selling the duck eggs. Of course, all of this was contrary to Agriculture Canada regs.

Personally prefer duck eggs, my friend gives them to me, their awesome.

I'd like to put my two cents worth in. First I have eaten turkey duck goose and chicken eggs. Some of the flavour has to do with their diet but overall I would say the chicken eggs are the mildest. Second turkeys if you only have a few love to follow you around the yard because they really attached to you. Third I've had turkey set clutches on me and because sometimes some of the moms will all in the same nest I've had a turkey hen hatch up to maybe 20 babies although I've rarely seen them survive in that amount. I supplement my birds with a little bit of grain but very little most of the stuff they get they get around the yard bugs grass and so on. So they're not that expensive to raise because they pretty much raised themselves. Luckily there's always enough rescue dogs around here to keep the coyotes and foxes at bae. I have had all's take for the younger ones off their roofs at night when they Roost in the trees as they would prefer to be outside when it's warm rather than back into the coop. If you wish to raise turkeys get the smaller bronze ones they are very Hardy to survive and they will lay clutches of eggs for you for example I have had good luck with the Artesian gold. Good luck everybody and I love this little presentation thank you for doing it

The difference in taste is more significant than "slight". The texture is different as well. The flavor and texture of scrambled turkey eggs is similar to that of baked chicken egg yokes. There is more yolk to the ratio of whites in turkey eggs. If youre more of a yolk enjoyer than they might be for you.

Things I never knew I needed to know. . . Extremely interesting. Thank you much for this entertaining video!

I was raised on a farm here in KY. We kept a few chickens and Mom kept a few wild turkeys that she had incubator hatched from eggs found in a fence row. Most turned out to be hens but there were a couple of Toms. One Turkey hen had taken up living with the chickens instead of the other turkeys. That Turkey hen would roost in the hen house at night while the rest of the turkeys took up roosting in the tobacco barn at night and they roamed freely around the farm. She laid eggs almost as often as the chickens did, the other Turkey hens did not, at least we never found any from the other hens. The only thing we could think of was that the turkey hen that stayed with the chickens ate laying mash daily and the others didn't. I've tried scrambled turkey eggs and they're strong, not very good IMO. But Mom used them when baking cakes and corn bread and it made no difference in the taste of those items.

I have eaten Turkey eggs many times and they taste amazing.🇬🇧

I used to go to a farmers’ market about 30 miles away where one seller had pastured eggs, mostly chicken eggs but a limited supply of duck and turkey eggs. Then the seller stopped showing up. The duck eggs were by far the best, but the turkey eggs were nicely big and different enough in flavor from chicken eggs that they made an interesting change from the usual.

She made an angel food cake with them, and a yellow cake to use the yolks. I'll admit that angel food cake was remarkably fluffy, but the yellow cake was amazing. Nearly all the eggs had two yolks.

Never thought about it... And thanks, this is something to keep in mind.

When we raised chickens, we also had turkeys. A close friend has a chicken allergy (and many others) so they would get turkey eggs and goat milk from us. It was nice to see a teenager eat scrambled eggs for the first time, or eat ice cream for the first time (thanks to the goat milk). They do taste like chicken eggs (at least when they eat the same foods) but are quite a bit larger.

The biggest problem I found is having big enough cartons to hold the eggs. They don't fit normal egg cartons. I did find that they make a great protein supplement for my chickens during molting(moulting) season. When a chicken molts, they stop laying eggs because their body concentrates the protein on building feathers instead of eggs. Adding more protein to their diet helps ease the process and they'll keep laying eggs. Yes, I feed them scrambled eggs. I also bake and pulverize the shells into a powder and infuse it with the scrambled eggs to help the chickens lay eggs with harder shells.

QUICK ANSWER ... Turkey are seasonal layers. They do not lay enough eggs to cover the cost of maintaining the turkey. Most turkey eggs are hatched because meat is more valuable. I sell turkey eggs... Usually as hatching eggs because most people don't want to pay the $6 per egg price tag just to eat it. BTW... Eggs are fresh because they are gathered daily by me. Not collected by the turkey.

We have turkeys. The hens are actually meat breeds that we actually just have as "pets". They've just started laying eggs. We have a heritage breed tom... Maybe we'll hatch some? Haven't decided. We also have chickens and get LOTS of eggs from them. With the current situation it's more profitable to save the chicken eggs for selling and use our turkey eggs for our own consumption.

I was walking down my very long drive way and in a pot hole was a wite egg with brown speckles. Knew it couldnt be a chicken egg my checkens dont venture out that far. At first I assumed it was a dud and was going to chuck it. Glad I didnt. Got it back up to the house looked it up and sure enough turkey egg. We put it in the incubator and my wife is holding the chick as we speak. I named him Roady. The next day after finding that egg, my dad finds another. He is pipping right now. Guess I will call him Broady. Broady and Roady. I dont know what the laws are on hatching wild eggs but I dont really care either. Something is alive now that would have got squashed by a car. We are going to bond with the chicks and treat them like farm dogs same as we do our geese. Hoping I got two bucks, but getting a female would be great too. More babies!

Thank you very much for answering this question! I have often wondered why turkey eggs are not on the menu here in America 🇺🇸, and I am now going to see if I can find turkey eggs. Thank you for sharing! Please have an excellent and awesome day! ☀️✨🇺🇸

My childhood farm experience also informs my reasoning. Turkeys were more agressive to giving up their eggs. We raised chickens, turkeys, geese, quail, and Guinea hens for market and turkeys were the most agressive.

I was mind blown that people in the US and Canada labeled eggs that are not "chicken eggs" as wild/game, in my country you can eat duck eggs and quail eggs on a daily basis because its commonly sold on the street.

Quail eggs are pretty common in the US, and probably even more common in Canada. We call it game because people hunt quail.

I've wondered about this too! When my turkey started laying, it was the first time seeing a turkey egg. I'd always kept chickens, and have inly had a couple of toms in the past. I was too afraid to eat the turkey eggs, but on Thanksgiving I was making a pumpkin pie, but had run out of eggs...except for a lone turkey egg. So i used it, and the pie was good! (My turkey was probably glad it was only her egg that got used on Thanksgiving 😂). I'm still shiddish about just scrambling them up and eating them, but my kids like them. I just cant get past the prehistoric, dinosaur look of them, lol. 😂

In the Andean states of Venezuela there is a traditional soup called Pisca. It contains potatoes, onions, green onions, sweet peppers, cilantro and eggs. Sometimes it may contain milk. The name of the dish comes from the fact that in the old days it was prepared with Turkey eggs, being Pisca or Pava the female and Pisco or Pavo the male. Nowadays it can be prepared with chicken eggs.

I bought a dozen turkey chicks at Runnings this spring. My wife had absolutely no idea that turkeys lay eggs. Body builders actually love turkey eggs.

I'd love to try them because I love duck eggs. One duck egg makes the creamiest egg sandwiches.

I use to have a half dozen Royal Palm hens and I had so many eggs I’d just give them away at work. People loved them, me too. After the first snowfall in autumn they’d stop laying until spring came around.

Just had my first one. Surprisingly creamy, and richer than duck eggs in my experience.

I think a more reasonable explanation for lower demand for turkey eggs vs. chicken eggs is ease of use. Domestic turkeys eggs usually require a utensil to crack open without demolishing the yolk.

I believe it is price like everything else

On a road trip I saw a spray painted sign that said "turkey eggs for sale". I immediately turned our camper around and bought a dozen for a pretty reasonable price. I couldn't tell much difference in taste, but I really enjoyed the experience and novelty.

My grandfather was a turkey rancher and he actually sold the turkey eggs!!! I have very faint memories but one I do remember is my grandmother packaging the eggs in cartons and stamping them. I don’t know other details or who he sold the eggs to. But this brought back memories

I grew up on a turkey farm...turkey eggs are the only kind of eggs our family ever ate... 😋

I used to buy and enjoy turkey eggs when I lived near the St. Jacob’s Market in Kitchener, Ontario. Two turkey eggs made enough scrambled eggs for my kids, and we all enjoyed them hard boiled, like chicken eggs. Not much difference but for the size. 🇨🇦🖖🏻🇨🇦

growing up in Wisconsin I had a friend that had a Turkey farm, I ate a lot of those eggs, I loved them!!!!

My Step Dad grew up on a farm that had a separate Turkey Farm. The sole purpose of that farm was turkey eggs for normal turkey farms. This was 50-60 years ago, so somethings have probably changed. It was still in operation when I was a kid and would help my Uncle every once in a while. We'd get eggs too. I don't recall any significant difference compared to chicken eggs. They grew eggs for Jerome Foods, which was bought out by Jenni-o many years ago. That was about the time the Farm shut down. The large companies probably keep all that in house now, controlling their supply chain and all that. There is bound to be some independent growers around still, that grow eggs and hatchlings for small farms.

Very good video, thank you. I've never raised turkeys, so haven't thought much about eating their eggs. I have raised geese and have tried their eggs. Hard to crack, rubbery whites and yolks, don't taste all that great, don't work well in baking because they change the texture of the cake, cookies, etc. You didn't talk about using turkey eggs in baking. I imagine they'd be all right and better than goose eggs.
