Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat.
Whisk in the flour and cook for 1-2 minutes, stirring constantly, until it forms a smooth paste.
Slowly stir in the chicken or turkey broth, whisking constantly to avoid lumps. Cook until the mixture thickens, about 3-4 minutes.
Add the heavy cream, garlic powder, thyme, salt, and black pepper. Stir well and let simmer for 2 minutes, then remove from heat.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked turkey, stuffing, and frozen mixed vegetables. Pour the prepared gravy over the mixture and stir to combine thoroughly.
Transfer the turkey mixture into a 9-inch pie dish, spreading it out evenly.
Place the pie crust over the filling, trimming any excess dough around the edges. Press the edges down with a fork to seal.
In a small bowl, beat the egg with the water to create an egg wash. Brush the egg wash evenly over the pie crust to ensure a golden finish.
Cut a few small slits in the middle of the pie crust to let steam escape while baking.
Place the pie dish on a baking sheet to catch any drips and bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbling.
Remove the pot pie from the oven and let it cool for 5-10 minutes before serving. Enjoy!
