Creating the Turkey Pot Pie with Stuffing Crust is a straightforward process. Just follow these simple steps:

1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. Prepare Filling: In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded turkey, frozen mixed vegetables, turkey or chicken broth, cream of chicken soup, onion powder, garlic powder, thyme, and black pepper. Mix until well combined.
3. Prepare Stuffing: In another bowl, mix the stuffing mix with water and melted butter. Stir until the stuffing is moistened.
4. Assemble Pie: In a greased 9-inch pie dish, spread the turkey and vegetable mixture evenly at the bottom. If desired, sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese on top of the filling.
5. Add Stuffing Crust: Spoon the stuffing mixture over the turkey filling, spreading it evenly to cover the entire top.
6. Bake: Place the pie dish in the preheated oven and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the stuffing is golden brown and the filling is bubbly.
7. Cool: Once done, remove the pot pie from the oven and let it cool for about 10-15 minutes before serving. This allows the filling to set slightly.
8. Serve: Slice the pie into wedges and serve warm. Enjoy the delightful combination of flavors!
