yes you can eat turkey eggs.
when i was growing up we reared lots of turkeys, ducks and chickens. one turkey egg is about the size of 3 chicken eggs. they were only fed corn. the yolks were bright orange. you cook them like you would cook chicken eggs. i would not advise using them for baking because they are very fresh. they are more fresh than the chickens', but the ducks were the 'freshish'. i am not sure where you can buy them, maybe on a farm that rears turkeys.

Source your turkey eggs from any egg supplier to your local farmers' market. Search at : http://www.thefoody.com/regionalfm.html They tend not to get to the shops as there is little demand for them, but they are just as good as any hens egg - bigger too so more egg for your souffle and scrambling or whatever.

If you look at http://www.bigbarn.co.uk/ and search locally you'll probably also come accross a supplier close to you - they have 6500 producers, farm shops and supplliers on the database, so this should help too.
