The Ridley turkey originated in Saskatchewan in the mid-1800's. The breed was once very popular in it's homeland until it was seemingly replaced by Broad-breasted varieties, and the breed fell out of favour. They was extirpated in Saskatchewan, but was fortunately saved from total extinction in Ontario.
It has been speculated that this breed derived from the Rio Grande turkey.
