Livestock practices
1. Livestock of turkeys
Turkey is mainly high for its meat, and farms are designed to maximise meat production rather than egg production. This has a direct impact on the availability of turkey eggs.
2. Space and animal welfare
Turkeys require more space and resources than chickens, making them more difficult to raise for egg production. Many farmers choose to focus on meat production, where demand is higher.
Final reflections
Although turkey eggs can be edible and nutritious, their rarity and lack of culinary tradition limit their use. Limited production, reduced availability and cultural preference for hen eggs meant that turkey eggs remained in the shade.
1. The future of turkey eggs
With growing interest in alternative foods and the exploration of less common ingredients, there could be a future for turkey eggs on the food market. Some chefs and restaurants are beginning to experiment with less conventional ingredients, which could lead to a rediscovery of turkey eggs.
2. In conclusion
In conclusion, turkey eggs are not commonly consumed for a variety of reasons, including their limited production, cultural preference for chicken eggs and lack of culinary tradition. However, they could find a place in the gastronomic landscape if there was greater interest on the part of consumers and chefs. The rediscovery of traditional and less common ingredients is a growing trend, and turkey eggs could be part of this culinary evolution.
