Why don't you eat turkey eggs?

Economic aspects

1. Cost of production

The production cost of turkey eggs is generally higher than that of hen's eggs. This is due to several factors, including the lower number of eggs laid per animal and the higher costs of feeding and handling.

2. Market and availability

The turkey egg market is much smaller. Limited demand and limited supply means that turkey eggs are not readily available in shops, making it difficult for consumers to integrate them into their diet.

Culinary considerations

1. Income and preparations

Despite the fact that turkey eggs can be used in many of the same recipes as hen's eggs, their rarity has led to a lack of specific recipes. Traditional cuisine has never integrated turkey eggs significantly, making it difficult to use them creatively in the kitchen.

2. Taste and texture

Many people have never tasted turkey eggs and cannot compare their flavor to that of hen eggs. Differences in taste and texture may not be attractive enough to justify their introduction to the food market.
