Step 2: Add water to cover by 2 inches, and bring to a boil over high heat. 

Step 3: Reduce heat to medium-low, and simmer 2 hours, skimming off fat, if necessary. 

Step 4: Add 2 halved onions, 2 coarsely chopped carrots, 2 coarsely chopped celery stalks, 1 halved head of garlic, 1 bunch of fresh thyme, 10 whole peppercorns, and 2 bay leaves. Simmer 1 hour more. 

Step 5: Strain turkey stock through a fine-mesh sieve; discard vegetables and bones. Let cool completely. Refrigerate up to 3 days; freeze up to 6 months.
