* The Broad-breasted Bronze is another commercially developed strain of table bird.
* The Standard Bronze looks much like the broad-breasted, except that it is single breasted, and can naturally breed.

* Blue slate turkeys are a very rare breed with beautiful gray-blue feathers.

* The Beltsville Small White is a small heritage breed, which development started in 1934. She was introduced in 1941 and was admitted to the APA Standard in 1951. She is slightly bigger and broader than the Midget White but both are often mislabel.
* The Midget White Turkey is a smaller heritage breed, developed in Massachusetts in the 1950's, sometimes called Beltsville Whites.
