Instead of a large buffet where people's eyes are much larger than their plates, present everyone's first plate to them, like a restaurant. This way, you can control the initial portion, eliminating much waste, and keeping to your original portion plan. You can still have a buffet set for those that want second portions, but preparing the first plate will save time, food, and money. Perhaps you'll do less Thanksgiving cooking this way.
