Among the 20 eggs in the database, turkey egg ranks 4th by protein per serving, and 302nd out of all 796 foods on the site. Set against dried egg yolk, another egg entry in the database, a serving carries about 1.1 g more protein (dried egg yolk has 9.7 g per 1 oz).
It is a complete protein - it supplies all nine essential amino acids in adequate amounts, so it can carry a meal's protein on its own. The serving above is counted by piece at 79 g. Because pieces vary, the per-100 g figure is the one to use when comparing this against a food measured a different way.
