If using turkey necks and wings, brown pieces over medium heat in large stock pot (or broil in the oven) until golden. If using a leftover turkey carcass, just place in stock pot.
Add remaining ingredients to a large stockpot. Cover and simmer for 45 minutes to 1 hour on the stove.
Strain the broth through a fine mesh strainer to remove all turkey and vegetables. Return broth to the pot and simmer an additional 30-45 minutes to reduce, skim off any fat.
Cool broth and store in an airtight jar or container, then refrigerate for up to 3 days.
