Turkey eggs.

Got a bunch to smoke. Any body ever hard boil these before. I'm guessing double a chicken egg?

Where did you get turkey eggs?

[eyeguy 54]

son brought them. turkey operation throws away 600 a day. double yolk.

[eyeguy 54]

boiled one 15 minutes then sat for 5. Ended up between soft and hard. was very good. 20 minutes and then 10 for the next test.

[OnAFly]

wow, I can't believe they are just tossing them. They could sell them for a buck a dozen and make...well only $350 a week, but still.

[eyeguy 54]

25000 good ones a day. too costly to save them. 20 and 10 is perfect.

Have your kid bring em down. I will buy some!

That sounds GOOD!!! Imagine the 3 egg omelette you can make!

Never tried a turkey egg, but sounds interesting. How is the taste compared to chicken eggs? Are they brown or white?

[eyeguy 54]

white and they taste the same. tough peeling but smokin anyway. i read online that they are more runny than chicken so good for omelets. also read we can freeze eggs up to a year and then use them. interesting.

[eyeguy 54]

not pretty but who cares! lol I set a chicken egg along side that is in the shell.

If I remember correctly, eggs that are too fresh are hard to peel. Maybe leave in refrigerator for a week or two...

On the other hand there is this...

What's the best way to peel a hard-cooked egg?

It is often said that the fresher the egg, the harder it is to peel. But we didn't find much of a difference when peeling young and older eggs in our test kitchen. We contacted the American Egg Board for advice and learned that the best way to peel an egg is not to strip off big pieces of shell (which is what we had been doing) but to crack the egg all over, breaking the shell into tiny pieces, and then peel off these little bits. The Egg Board also suggests starting to peel from the large end of the egg, which has an air pocket. This lets you get under the membrane without digging into the white. The egg's surface will be much more pliable after cracking, and chances are that the whole membrane, shell and all, will come off in a clean spiral, leaving behind a scar-free beauty.

i've peeled millions of chicken eggs the same way. fresh and old. didn't work on these big buggers very well. very tough membrane. if I ever get more I'll try something different. like scrambled...

Nice.....know anyone who has access to ostrich eggs???

[delcecchi]

Just thought I would post the information. Sometimes I get chicken eggs that are hard to peel and sometimes not. I never know why.

add one teaspoon of baking soda to the water it will make the shells come off easier. Don't ask me why,it just works

Those eggs look great. Love the double yoke thing. Making me hungry for hard boiled eggs, esp the smoked variety.

Thanks for the tip, I hadn't heard of that but will sure give it a try.
