Turkey Egg

Recommended Posts

Went to the Sat. market to pick up a pork belly and some eggs. The vendor gave me a couple of these. I had no idea what they were until he told me.

The bacon is on to cure and later this coming week I'll smoke it. :)

In the meantime I just had to try the turkey egg.

The shell was hard almost had to hit it with the cleaver.:shock:

I really couldn't tell the difference when it was cracked open in appearance or flavour after cooking it.

It was neat experience. :)

Never had a turkey egg (or seen one) before. I've had duck and quail eggs and other than size, there's not a lot of difference in taste/texture. Supposedly duck eggs are "richer" - whatever that means?

As I undertsand it, "richer" is because the yolks are larger than the chicken eggs in comparison. If your baking the larger yolk is preferred.
