Place the bones in a large (8 quart or larger) stock pot or slowcooker. Add the rest of the ingredients, then fill the pot up with filtered water. Simmer for 24 hours for chicken or turkey broth, 48 hours for the others. Let cool slightly, then strain into a large bowl through a colander. Discard the solids. Let the broth cool to room temperature, then cover and chill.
Scrape off the fat from the top if desired before using. Use within 1 week or freeze for up to 3 months.
