Turkey Eggs
Although turkey is the protein of choice at many an American holiday, the birds’ eggs hardly ever appear at the table. With a more pronounced flavor and thicker shells than chicken eggs, turkey eggs are also more expensive to produce: The average turkey weighs about five times more than a chicken, so roosting turkeys take up valuable space in a coop. Also, chickens lay about 300 eggs per year, while turkeys only make about 100. These few eggs tend to be kept and raised solely for their meat. —Jessica Su
