Like portlandpiper said, check with your butcher about necks and wings. You can also get pretty good deals on thighs if you check around. I love white meat for most things, but I think dark meat is better in the soups. I'll smoke up a bunch, then cube it and freeze it for soup, and save the bones for stock.
The real trick for having turkey stock around for Thanksgiving is to celebrate Thanksgiving about 4 times a year. Isn't it kinda silly to only eat such a yummy meal only once each year? If you fee like having Thanksgiving in July, go for it.
