ellenskitchen.com/turkey/planshop.html
for help on amounts of everything

ellenskitchen.com/turkey/yields.html
for discussion on yield. The most important thing is that for a Thanksgiving dinner, 1 pound raw boneless turkey breast makes only 2 servings, and 1 pound cooked makes only 3. Not clear whether your deli breasts are raw or cooked, but use these figures and you will have the right amounts for your feast.

The stuffing amount depends on whether you are also serving mashed potatoes or yams. The planning page will help. You need at least 1 cup gravy per 4, about 1 quart per 15.
