We are here at work and everyone is hotly debating this question.Why aren't turkey eggs sold in supermarkets like chicken eggs? Please help us answer this question.
Turkey eggs are edible and taste similar to chicken eggs. One of the main reasons 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 79 grams. Such a difference in recipes would be dreadful to the final results, especially baked products. Another reason turkey eggs are not on the market is that turkey producers utilize the turkey eggs for production rather than selling the eggs

Just a little side note about turkeys. You guys know that turkies have testicles that are great to eat like bull fries but really small?
We have a couple of bars here that sell turkey fries which are in fact turkey nuts.

well, turkeys may not lay as maney eggs as chickens, and taking eggs from turkeys is more dangerous to the eggman.
plus those little bumps in the fridge are the wrong size for turkey eggs.

They actually tried it in the little-known second matrix, between the first matrix, or "perfect world" matrix, and the one we're using now. It was a disaster. None of the recipes worked anymore. The economies of entire nations collapsed because of this. Widespread famine ensued. Entire crops were lost.
This is actually starting to happen in this matrix as well, but in response to the fact that hotdogs are sold in packs of ten, while buns are sold in packs of eight. It's kind of a disgrace at this point. You would think we would learn our lesson the third time, but I guess not.

My theory is this..... Because people would get REALLY tired after breakfast. (The turkey enzyme, remember?)
I'm used to eating chicken orbs for breakfast, and I'd have a hard time eating liquid turkeys. That is prolly the main reason turkey eggs aren't used.
