You can use this oneliner in your layout:

But the other way to do it, which I use mostly, would be to put this chunk of code to the links leading to this page...

So, let's suppose your route is named :policy, you should do this:

<%= link_to "Policy", policy_path, :"data-no-turbolink" => true %>

Long time has gone, here is an update

Recently, I have started using turbolinks 5.0 beta, by:

gem 'turbolinks', '~> 5.0.0.beta'

It gets far easier... All document ready javascript gets loaded, no problem... All you have to do is add a listener to the load event.

$(document).on('turbolinks:load', named_function );
var named_function = function() {
    // thinks to do on document load
}

You don't have to also add

$(document).ready(function (){
     // stuff
});

or

$(document).ready(named_function);

Because Turbolinks will gracefully fall back to document load if the page is hard loaded.
