Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish or casserole dish with cooking spray or butter. - Prepare the stuffing:
Prepare the stuffing according to the package directions or if using homemade stuffing, set it aside. - Make the casserole mixture:
In a large bowl, combine the cream of chicken soup, milk, sour cream, chicken broth, garlic powder, onion powder, thyme, salt, and pepper. Stir until smooth and well-combined. - Assemble the casserole:
Layer the cooked turkey evenly in the bottom of the prepared casserole dish. Top with the prepared stuffing. Pour the creamy soup mixture over the turkey and stuffing, spreading it out evenly with a spatula. - Add cheese:
Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese on top of the casserole. - Bake:
Cover the casserole with aluminum foil and bake for 25 minutes. Then, remove the foil and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until the casserole is bubbly and the cheese is melted and golden. - Garnish and serve:
