Gather your ingredients and clean the turkey bones if necessary.
Chop your vegetables into large chunks.
In a stock pot, add the turkey bones, vegetables, and herbs. Cover with cold water.
Place the pot over medium-high heat and bring to a gentle simmer.
Skim any foam or scum from the surface.
Reduce heat to low and let the stock simmer for 4-6 hours (up to 8 hours for richer flavor).
Carefully strain the stock through a fine mesh strainer into a clean pot or bowl.
Let the stock cool, then transfer to containers for storage.

Freeze stock in ice cube trays for easy portioning. Roasting bones and vegetables before using them can enhance flavor.
