About Turkey egg

A turkey egg is the egg laid by a domestic turkey. It has a hard shell, usually cream to tan with speckles, and is larger than a typical chicken egg. Inside are a clear white and a yellow-orange yolk; the proportions and shell appearance can vary.

It can be cooked in ways similar to other poultry eggs, including boiling, frying, or baking, though it is less commonly sold for everyday use. The record refers to a whole egg, not just the white or yolk, and does not specify size, freshness, or cooking state.
