Have you ever wondered why turkey eggs aren’t a common sight in grocery stores, despite the bird’s huge popularity for meat, especially around holiday seasons like Thanksgiving and Christmas. You see chicken eggs everywhere, and even duck eggs pop up sometimes, but turkey eggs? Never.
You might assume that turkey eggs just aren’t good to eat, or maybe they taste weird. But that’s actually not the case at all. Experts have spilled the beans on why we don’t see them on supermarket shelves, and it all boils down to two key factors: the way turkeys lay eggs and the economics of large-scale egg production.
