Why don't we eat Turkeys eggs?!
Answers:
Yes you can eat turkey eggs!. We kept them on my land for many years, and I ate them regularly!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
Turkeys don't lay that many eggs, and the ones they do lay are used to produce more turkeys!. The average egg-laying chicken lays 300 or so eggs per year, while the average turkey produces only 100 to 120!. Chickens come into production at 19 to 20 weeks of age, but turkeys don't get cranking until 32 weeks!. Turkeys are also much larger, averaging 16 to 17 pounds compared to 3!.5 pounds for chickens!. So you'd need a lot more room for a bird that would take a lot longer to produce a lot fewer eggs!.
Another problem is that turkeys go "broody" easily--they want to sit on their eggs and incubate them!. In contrast, egg-producing white leghorn chickens have had the broodiness bred out of them!. They lay and lay and have no desire to incubate their offspring or otherwise be maternalWww@FoodAQ@Com

I am sure some people do, if you can eat the Turkey, then you can eat the egg!. Some people eat worse things than T-eggs, so for them it would be a delicatessen!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
I think that most of them go to food production rather than as eggs (as such)
