I want to make homemade gravy to take to Thanksgiving. Recipes say to use the drippings from the turkey (I will not be making the turkey, so I won't have the drippings) or it says to use Turkey Stock. What is that, and if it's in the grocery..what isle would I find it in??

It's not at any grocery I've seen.
I would use reduced sodium chicken broth/stock.

Turkey stock is probably going to be hard to find at the store... You can just use chicken broth in its place. Just watch the salt content since canned broth is salted while homemade stock may or may not be salted.
For your recipe just use half of the salt called for and make a final adjustment when the gravy is nearly done.
Also, whomever is making the turkey... ask them to save the dripping so you can incorporate the juices (not the fat) into your gravy. A tablespoon or two won't through the gravy off, but will add to the flavor tremendously.

It sounds like you are new to shopping. Especially holiday shopping as are the other posters who gave dumb answers. Frozen turkeys are a staple in most major grocery stores. I'm talking Safeway, Raleys, Walmart ect. They have them all year long. They are just more prominent during the holidays. Especially Thanksgiving. A lot of folks eat turkey for Christmas dinner too so they are around till New Years in multiple freezers, then cordoned off to a little corner for the rest of the year. If you are watching your pennies, the holiday season exudes bargains and turkeys are one of them. So are potatoes, yams, celery, onions etc. I don't buy frozen turkeys if I can help it. I buy fresh because by law, a turkey can be frozen up to 10 years before selling. They still taste fine and if it's a good deal, I will still buy one.

I've never seen turkey stock in a store, even after all these years. Chicken broth is the closest substitute and nobody will know. It's all poultry anyway.

turkey stock is almost impossible to find, unless you have a gourmet foods store around. most stores only carry chicken stock. stock is what they make from the drippings (they condense it by boiling a lot of the water out of it.) if you're LUCKY a supermarket would have it in the canned soup aisle

Take all the gizzards and boil them with some vegetables and you will have a stock.
