This morning, however, I was feeling a little more hungry than one egg. When I opened the fridge to retrieve the egg carton, debating one egg or two for myself today, my eyes fell upon the carton of turkey eggs--wide open, because it's a chicken egg-sized carton, and turkey eggs are almost twice as big, so the lid won't close.
Perfect! It would still be a one-egg day for me, just a rather bit bigger egg.

I admit, the first time I ate a turkey egg (late last fall, the first time we had turkeys old enough to lay eggs!), I was a bit afraid. Would I die? Would it taste awful? Would it have a yucky feel in my mouth? It was weird, right? Eating a turkey egg. Who does that?
I do! They are delicious! I don't notice any taste difference between the turkey eggs and the chicken eggs. Maybe because they eat the same diet.
They look the same while cooking:
They look the same on my plate, if maybe a bit larger, like as large as my slice of toast ;0) :
They have the same feel in my mouth (not yucky at all), although I like to think the turkey egg yolk is maybe just a wee bit creamier than a chicken yolk. The jury is still out on that one, since I have not yet convinced the kids and DH to eat a fried turkey egg, only giant deviled eggs made with them.
