A large part is of the reason is supply and demand. Turkeys don't lay as many eggs as chickens. The ones that are produced are used for creating more turkeys.
The average chicken lays around 300 or so eggs per year, but the average turkey clocks in at around 100.
Chickens don't start laying eggs until 19 weeks of age, turkeys take longer. They don't become mature enough to lay eggs until 32 weeks. Turkeys are also larger, averaging 17 pounds compared to 3.5 pounds for chickens. This means you would need more room for a bird that would take longer to produce much less eggs.
Domesticity comes into as well play. Turkeys can become 'broody' easily. This means that they want to sit on their eggs, protect and incubate them. Chickens on the other hand have had the 'broodiness' bred out of them. They can lay eggs and then have no desire to incubate their offspring or be maternal or play mother.
