I've seen threads on similar topics - such as this one - but the answers never seem to solve how to make it bootable.

I have Win 7 64-bit on a PC installed on a 2tb MBR volume. The motherboard is UEFI compatible.

I just installed a secondary internal 3TB drive which will be partitioned as GPT.

Is there a relatively easy way to clone my installation over to the new drive and have that drive be bootable?

I have used EaseUS Partition Master to clone the C volume to the D volume, but that would not boot and I assume the issue is that one is MBR and one is GPT.

Is there a process to do this?

See the following page:

https://gitorious.org/tianocore_uefi_duet_builds/pages/Windows_x64_BIOS_to_UEFI

In brief, what you want to do is possible. Since you've cloned the installation to another (GPT) disk, you can skip the stuff about converting from MBR to GPT; all you need to do is to install the Windows EFI boot loader, which is summarized in section 3. (It looks like the page has been condensed since I last read it, so you'll need to follow external links and figure out the precise commands to use yourself based on those links.)
