In a medium saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter. Add the diced onion and celery, and sauté until softened, about 5 minutes.
Sprinkle the flour over the vegetables and stir constantly for 1-2 minutes to create a roux.
Gradually pour in the chicken or turkey broth while whisking to prevent lumps. Continue to cook over medium heat until the mixture thickens, about 3-4 minutes.
Stir in the heavy cream, garlic powder, dried thyme, salt, and black pepper. Remove from heat.
In the crock pot, combine the cooked turkey, frozen mixed vegetables, diced potatoes, and the sauce mixture. Stir to coat everything evenly.
Spread the mixture out evenly in the bottom of the crock pot.
In a mixing bowl, prepare the cornbread batter according to the package instructions, using the specified amount of milk and egg.
Carefully spoon or pour the cornbread batter over the turkey mixture in an even layer.
Cover the crock pot with the lid. Cook on high for 3-4 hours, or until the cornbread is set and lightly golden on top.
Using a spoon, scoop the pot pie into bowls and serve warm. Enjoy this comforting and filling dish!
