Do people eat (wild or domestic ) turkey eggs? I've never heard of it and wondered.

I spose they do somewhere. I'd be more likely to eat tame turkey eggs I would think. Even tho I had bout 40 wild ones in my front yard the otherday. They also wundered thru my garden and sampled everything.

I did an internet search and found that turkey eggs are edible and taste similar to chicken eggs. However, since most turkey eggs are used by the industry to produce turkeys, they would be quite expensive to buy for cooking. Also, there are no inspection and grading regulations set forth by the USDA regarding turkey eggs.
Another main reason turkey eggs are not sold to consumers is the size of the eggs. Recipes are designed for the amount of liquid in a chicken egg. The weight of one large chicken egg is 50 grams while the weight of one turkey egg is 70 grams. Such a difference in bakery recipes would be dreadful to the final results.
