Yep, its just simply Silver Laced with Blue instead of Black.

And just FYI. Lilac Turkeys are Bronze Turkeys will two Slate(blue) genes, so in chicken terms they would be a Splash Bronze.

I'm sure you know but,
Slate is Splash not blue so,
Lilac turkey are bronze based with two slate (two Splash) genes.
The Self Blue "aka Lavender" is also black based but have two dominant slate (two Splash) genes.

Forgive me for my ignorance, but why is it called silver laced? The feather is silver with blue lacing I never understood why they called them silver laced and gold laced if the feather is silver or gold and outlined with black. Kinda like with the BLR the feather is red with blue on the outside. Or is it just what is acceptable to call them?

Sorry OP didn't mean to get off topic on your thread.

OK,
In Silver Laced or Silver laced Blue the base color of the bird is Silver (White) and it is laced in Black or Blue. (It is a Silver bird with lacing)
In Gold Laced the base color of the bird is Gold and it is laced in Black. (It is a Gold bird with lacing)
