Turkey egg
Turkey eggs are low in histamine like chicken eggs — the one thing to know is the egg white's liberator effect, not storage time.
From a histamine standpoint, turkey eggs behave much like chicken eggs.
-
The egg white is the primary consideration — egg whites are widely listed as histamine liberators, meaning they may prompt the body to release its own stored histamine; this applies to turkey eggs just as it does to chicken eggs
-
Cooking the white fully helps — fully setting the white through cooking appears to reduce the histamine-liberating potential, so preparation method matters more than the species the egg comes from
Buying fresh eggs and storing them properly is always sensible, but the key practical step is making sure the whites are thoroughly cooked.
