What type of egg is this?

[Broodygranny]

I keep finding these eggs in my yard and neighborhood! This is the second one within a couple of month. I live in the middle of nowhere. It is very rural. It looks like a turkey egg, except white. I have hatched turkey eggs in the past, but they were the domestic type. I have also seen the speckled ones out in a field. What is it? It looks darker and speckled in the pictures because it was in the dirt. A predator must have stolen it from a nest.

The shape and size is right for a turkey egg.

It looks like one. Does anybody know if some turkeys lay a white egg?

Not that I am aware of but a close look at that photo indicates there is some speckling on the egg. Turkey eggs that sit out in the weather long enough will have most of the pigment washed off. Not all turkeys lay as dark or the exact same color speckles.

My wild turkey eggs look just like that. I actually incubated and hatched two not to long ago after my neighbors dog chased off the mother.
