The recent development of a statistical model for incompressible Navier-Stokes (NS) fluids based on inverse kinetic theory (IKT, 2004-2008) poses the problem of searching for particular realizations of the theory which may be relevant for \textit{the statistical description of turbulence} and in particular for the so-called \textit{homogeneous, isotropic}and \textit{stationary} turbulence (HIST). Here the problem is set in terms of the $1-$point velocity probability density function (PDF) which determines a complete IKT-statistical model for NS fluids. This raises the interesting question of identifying the statistical assumptions under which a Gaussian PDF can be achieved in such a context. In this paper it is proven that for the IKT statistical model, HIST requires necessarily that $f_{1}$ must be SIED (namely \textit{stationary}, \textit{isotropic} and \textit{% everywhere-defined}). This implies, in turn, that the functional form of the PDF is uniquely prescribed at all times. In particular, it is found that necessarily the PDF must coincide with an isotropic Gaussian distribution. The conclusion is relevant for the investigation of the so-called homogenous, isotropic and stationary turbulence.
