Why dont we have turkey eggs?!
To produce the thousands of turkeys in the US, Canada and UK they need all the eggs for that process, plus there are fewer farms raising turkeys that those in egg production for the food industry, a turkey from chick to table ready bird is 7-9 months and with the way there feed grow 3 X faster than a chicken.
As the one fellow from the UK said there are small companys and farmers stalls at markets that will sell turkey, duck, goose, quail, I have bought the blues Peruvian ones, I cooked ostrich and emu eggs as chef in both Singapore and Japan.
Answers: I am a former chef and ulike chicken turkeys do not lay as many eggs, and most of the trukeys breed are males for the meat, the few hens that get processed are younger.

You might not, but i do. I get them aswell as duck eggs from 'Eggy John' at work. they're cracking to dip your soldiers in. yum.
they won't fit in the egg carton
Because turkeys are grown in vats of primordial soup from alien DNA and aren't real birds at all.
It is more cost effective to feedup and kill the bird for meat than to keep it alive as a layer as it requires too much food and care.
You can purchase them on some farms.
They lay eggs but not in the quantities of chickens so they are less available.
We do - but they are big and not as valuable as a fully grown turkey.
b/c I don't think turkeys lay eggs
