I have heard that there are issues with entry to certain countries when a stamp/visa is present in the passport from a previous country visited. Do I have anything to worry about with the above countries?

Nothing to worry about there. While certain Arab countries (e.g. Lebanon, Syria) will forbid entry to those with Israeli stamps on their passports, Egypt is not one of those countries. Furthermore, stamps from certain mainly-Muslim countries will trigger additional questioning at Israeli points of entry (though they aren't an automatic bar to entry), but Turkey is not one of those countries.

You'll be fine.
