A large amount of turkey meat is processed. It can be smoked, and as such, is sometimes sold as [[turkey ham]] or [[turkey bacon]], which is considered to be far healthier{{citation needed|date=February 2019}} than [[pork]] [[bacon]]. Twisted [[helix|helices]] of deep-fried turkey meat, sold as "[[Bernard Matthews Farms#Turkey Twizzlers|turkey twizzlers]]", came to prominence in the UK in 2004, when chef [[Jamie Oliver]] campaigned to have them and similar foods removed from [[school dinner]]s.<ref>{{cite web | first=Josh | last=Barrie | title=Turkey Twizzlers: A complete history of the controversial Bernard Matthews product – and what the new 'healthy' recipe tastes like | work=The i | date=17 August 2020 | url=https://inews.co.uk/inews-lifestyle/food-and-drink/turkey-twizzlers-bernard-matthews-history-banned-schools-jamie-oliver-new-recipe-taste-test-581342 | access-date=September 3, 2021 | archive-date=3 September 2021 | archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210903141650/https://inews.co.uk/inews-lifestyle/food-and-drink/turkey-twizzlers-bernard-matthews-history-banned-schools-jamie-oliver-new-recipe-taste-test-581342 | url-status=live }}</ref>
 
Unlike [[chicken eggs]], turkey eggs are not commonly sold as food due to the high demand for whole turkeys and lower output of eggs as compared with other fowl (not only chickens, but even ducks or quail). The value of a single turkey egg is estimated to be about [[USD|$]]3.50 on the open market, substantially more than an entire carton of one dozen chicken eggs.<ref>{{cite web | first=Cecil | last=Adams | title=Why can't you buy turkey eggs in stores? | work=The Straight Dope | date=6 March 1998 | url=http://www.straightdope.com/columns/read/1262/why-cant-you-buy-turkey-eggs-in-stores | access-date=November 25, 2010 | archive-date=11 August 2020 | archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200811223523/https://www.straightdope.com/columns/read/1262/why-cant-you-buy-turkey-eggs-in-stores/ | url-status=live }}</ref><ref>{{cite web | author=Kasey-Dee Gardner | title=Why?
